How to Make Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes

I will show you how simple it is to make these spiced pumpkin pancakes. The pumpkin and spice flavor are perfect for fall time or anytime of the year!

My mother-in-law was a kindergarten teacher for many years. On the day she was teaching the letter “P” she would bring her griddle and a big batch of pumpkin pancake batter. She would then cook up a big stack of pancakes, making the building smell amazing I’m sure, and serve the kids pumpkin pancakes for the letter “P” day!

Now, it is a family favorite especially when we are all at the cabin.

Instructions For Making Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes

A glass bowl with flour, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.

Begin by adding the the dry ingredients from a pancake recipe to a medium sized mixing bowl and stir.

A glass bowl with the flour and spice. A white bowl with fresh farm eggs and a measuring cup with pumpkin puree.

Next, add the eggs, milk, oil, and canned pumpkin to the mix and stir well until combined.

Heat a gridle over medium-low heat. When the griddle is hot, add a little butter and let it start bubbling.

Carefully pour a 1/3 of a cup or so into the middle of the butter. This will make the edges of your pancake delicious and crispy.

Let it cook for a good few minutes or so before flipping it over.

Once you’ve got three or four cooked pancakes stack them up and put a big old dap of butter on top so it can start to melt

I like maple syrup on mine. The more traditional way to eat these……at least in this family is to sprinkle the spiced pumpkin pancakes with powdered sugar after you butter them. Then roll it up like a tortilla and eat it that way.

I’ve done both and both are pretty great!!! It just depends on how messy you want to get.

Either way they are great and a fun change from just regular pancakes. Let me know if you enjoy these as much as we do.

Tools

  • mixing bowl
  • wire whisk
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • griddle

Helpful Tips

Put the mixed batter into a quart jar and pour from that……..less mess.

The dry ingredients can be mixed ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for those rushed mornings. Just add the wet ingredients and bam, ready to go.

Any leftover pancake batter can be stored in the fridge for up to 5-7 days. The top might turn a darker color but that is normal. Stir in a little milk to thin it out and you’re good to go.

Any leftover pancakes can be kept in an airtight container and reheated or they make a great snack just room temp. My kids love them.

You can use a pancake mix in place of the dry ingredients. Measure 1 ¾ cup of mix and then add the spices and sugar before adding the wet ingredients.
