Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
On the weekend when I have a bit more time to spend on breakfast I like to do something more and pancakes invariably comes up near the top of my list. With all of the butternut squash that I have I was thinking that using pumpkin puree in pancakes would be a great idea. Of course my next thought was to add the classic pumpkin pie spices to the pancakes. The pumpkin pie pancakes were really easy to make and tasted great! They were nice and warm and light and fluffy. The pumpkin in them came through and the spices were a nice treat. I couldn't have pancakes without drowning them in maple syrup and this time I also topped them with a touch of cinnamon. As a garnish I added some toasted pecans. Overall they were a really nice way to start a lazy Sunday.
Ingredients:
1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 cup milk (or buttermilk if you prefer)
1 egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (or butternut squash)
Directions:
1. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger in a large bowl.
2. Mix the milk, egg, butter and pumpkin puree in another bowl.
3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients making sure to not over mix.
4. Heat a pan and melt a touch of butter in it.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and heat until the surface starts to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

BEYOND SCRUMPTIOUS!!!
Nice job on those pancakes! Great flavors for this time of year.
Looks like a perfect use of the leftover pumpkin puree I have sitting in my fridge! YUM!
So spicy and yummy! A gorgeous treat!
Cheers,

Delicious, Kevin! I made some pumpkin waffles last year but never pancakes. I am bookmarking this one. I love pumpkin!
Of course they always have to be drowned in maple syrup! The only way to go. Looks fantastic, save me a seat at breakfast :)
Love the thematic setting too! ;)
These pancakes sound like something I could sink my fork into! They look delicious (and it's hard to make pancakes *look* delicious when shooting them)!
Wow... these look amazing! I have some leftover sweet potatoes in my fridge, I wonder if I mash them up if they would work...hmmm, I think I'll have to give it a try!
Great take on pancakes and the spices and pecans are a nice touch.
Hey Kevin — we must be on the same wavelength. I recently did a post on pumpkin pancakes as well, but my version was gluten-free. I've never been here before and I love your blog! We're on the same wavelength with the chard as well. I throw raisins in everything including sauteed greens (cabbage too). I'll be back to visit again soon. Great photos, too.
Take care and happy eating!

OMG Kevin, these look awesome!
I just made these too, I have yet to post them though. Weren't they good? The buttermilk made them come together so nicely.
I'm booking my table for next sunday morning!
Welcome to Fall!! These look wonderful!!!
Reminds me of what I do when I make pumpkin pie: there is too much pie filling in one recipe for the pie shells I use (still haven't tried making shells from scratch) so I take the leftover filling, soak some bread in it, and make pumpkin-pie-French-toast.
Pumpkin pancakes are my favorite new thing this fall! So delicious!
I love a good batch of pumpkin pancakes, and these look delicious. Great use for those little bits of canned pumpkin that we all end up with at one point or another too!
Just got up, and saw your pancakes look absolutely mouth watering. Imagine having this right now, I am sure my whole house will smell so good with all of those fragrant spices. Delicious!
Pumpkin pancakes are my favorites! My kids request them each year for their birthday breakfast. Your recipe looks delicious.
Yum, these look so good. Maybe I can convince my boyfriend to get off his diet for a day so I can make these for him!
I love pumpkin and these look fantastic!
i love anything pumpkin! those pancakes look tasty!
Pumpkin Pie Pancakes? *faints* I heart you for this, Kevin. I really do.
i've been asked to make pumpkin pie but i've yet to go searchin for the ingredients here in england. these pancakes however are a sure-to-make on my list! :)
yum! i'd say these are pretty much the perfect lazy sunday breakfast.
We are breakfast fiends, this is on my list to try!
very creative of you... they are amazing... :)
Those are the kind of pancakes that I would completely finish and then want to lick the plate...is that rude? I love how you cut a "pie wedge" in the photo!
Looks like a great recipe - I have two cans of pumkin to use up too!
Also, I tagged you, don't feel obligated though!
Happy Monday!
Move over Darius, save some for me :)
These look and sound fantastic, I love them!
All I need to hear is "pumpkin pie" and I'm in line!
Don't you just love pumpkins at this time of year?
These look great Kevin. :-)
these sound excellent. i think i'll be whipping some up for brunch this weekend!
Be still my beating heart.......... and pass me one of those pancakes Kevin, won't you?
I made pancakes this past weekend too. I'm loving the sounds of these. Very creative as usual.
I really love making homemade pumpkin pancakes, seeing yours upsets me in the fact that I have not made any this year. I will have to remedy that right away.
yum! these look tasty - and i love the toasted pecans. it sounds delicious!!
Will you and your awesomeness never cease?
I have a jar of pumkpin puree sitting in my fridge! But my husband doesn't like pancakes though yours look really fantastic!
This looks amazing! I now know what we are having for breakfast tomorrow.
Mmm! That sounds delish - I would have needed a pat of salted butter to complete the experience.
Omigod. I really have to make these!
What a great combination of flavours...yum!
How fabulous are these, the perfect breakfast anyday!
yummy... i'll take two!
Oh I'm so hungry for these, they look fantastic Kev!
Deliciuos...
boy! you are one sinful chef Kevin!! those pancakes look delish!! I'd love it if you could send them in for my vegetarian thanksgiving recipe event! they would be a perfect addition!
now I'm gonna go check out your strawberry banitsa!:)
That is so the right way to start the day. They sound delicious
Now that is inspired - I saw the pic on Tastespotting and HAD to come over and comment. Mashed pumpkin or butternut is just the best thing to have in the freezer as it can go into so many things. Definitely want to bookmark and try this :)
We made these! Delicious! We used whole wheat as instruacted but used barley flour instead of the white flour. The only other change was that we used honey instead of brown sugar. Otherwise we follwed the recipe. Turned out great! We made a double batch and ended up with 16 generous sized pancakes.
I attempted something similar, except I used the "Just Add Water" mix. LOL! Sounds like your's worked out a little better!
Wow, I can smell these pancakes cooking! They must taste great!
I would like to make these over the wknd - but question.
The ingredient list says milk, the directions say buttermilk. Which do I use?
kd: I used milk but I am sure that buttermilk would be great as well.
Oh Foul!
Awesome recipe. Used some leftover mashed buttercup squash and it was awesome. Love this blog.
