📋 Ingredients

This pumpkin pancakes recipe is made with simple ingredients easily found at your local grocery store.

• Pancake Mix. I used Aunt Jemima Original Pancake Mix, but Krusteaz Pancake Mix or Bisquick will also work. If using a complete pancake mix omit the eggs.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice. I used my own homemade Pumpkin Pie Mix, but you can use store bought if you like.
• Milk. I used 1% dairy milk. You can use any type of milk you like. Almond milk, oat milk, and coconut milk will all work.
• Pumpkin puree. Make sure it is pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Use your own pumpkin puree or store bought.
• Maple syrup. I used real maple syrup for the best flavor. You can also use imitation maple syrup, brown sugar, granulated sugar, or cane sugar.
• Vanilla extract. Vanilla adds extra flavor, but you can also use almond extract.

🥣How To Make Pumpkin Pancakes With Pancake Mix

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract (Images 1 + 2).

Step 2: Add pancake mix and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk together until evenly combined (Images 3 + 4).

Step 3: Let the batter rest while you preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat (350 degrees F). Spray griddle with nonstick cooking spray, oil, or a little butter or margarine to prevent sticking. Once hot, pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet or hot griddle for each pancake. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges of the pancake look set (about 2-3 minutes) (Image 5).

Step 4: Carefully flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown (Image 6).

Step 5: Repeat the steps with the remaining pancake batter. Serve fluffy pumpkin pancakes warm with your favorite pancake toppings. Whether its maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, or chopped nuts, these pancakes will become a favorite!

Tip: Keep a close eye while the pancakes are cooking, they cook fast!

💭 Expert Tips

• If using a Complete pancake mix, omit the eggs from the recipe.
• Use a whisk to mix the batter instead of a spoon. This will reduce the number of lumps in the batter.
• The batter should be smooth but not runny. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
• Don't over mix the batter as the pumpkin pancakes will not be as light and fluffy.
• Use a measuring cup or ice cream scoop to pour the batter onto the skillet. This ensures that all pancakes are the same size and cook evenly.
• Flip the pancake when you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look set.
• Don't walk away from the griddle! These cook up fast!
• Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just layer them between sheets of parchment paper and reheat when ready to serve.
