We love enjoying pancakes on Saturdays, and these are absolutely perfect! If you want, you could make extra pumpkin pancakes to freeze and enjoy all week.

We used canned pumpkin puree for this recipe. Homemade Instant Pot pumpkin puree (or any homemade pumpkin puree) works well in this recipe as well.

How to make pumpkin pancakes

First, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate medium mixing bowl whisk together the pumpkin, buttermilk, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla and maple syrup until fully combined.

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Let the batter sit and rest on the counter for 4-5 minutes.

Spread some butter onto the hot  griddle then use a ⅓ cup measuring cup to pour the batter on the griddle into even sized pancakes that are at least i-inch apart.

Cook until golden brown on bottom with tiny bubbles forming on the top of the pancakes.

Then flip the pancakes and cook them evenly on the other side until golden.

Repeat the process until all of the batter has been used. This recipe makes about 12 pancakes.
