Pumpkin Spice Pancakes and other such pumpkin treats

October 5, 2009 by Joy the Baker 138 Comments

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes 

Pumpkin. 

It’s October and it is time.  Pumpkin.  

Hold on to your hats.  I’ll be all up in your grill with peppermint and chocolate for Christmas before you know it.  

For now….

Pumpkin.   Don’t fight it.

Pumpkin Cookies with Butterscotch Chips 

Sweet.  Soft.  Cake-like.  Pumpkin Cookies with Butterscotch Chips.  A-mazing.  

Pumpkin Pie Bars 

Pumpkin Pie Bars.  Nuts.  Oats.  Spices… and Butterscotch chips, for good measure.  

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies 

Again with the Pumpkin Cookies.  They’re that good.  Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies sprinkled with powdered sugar.  

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes 

Now… Pumpkin Pancakes sprinkled with cinnamon sugar  and topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream.  Lovely Fall weekend breakfast.  Inspires weekend napping.  What could be better?   

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

     adapted from Martha Stewart

     makes 14-18 small pancakes

Print this Recipe!

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour 

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg

pinch of ground ginger

pinch of ground cloves

1 cup milk

1/2 cup canned pumpkin

1 egg

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter

Whisk together flours, salt, spices, sugar and baking powder in a medium sized bowl.  

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, pumpkin and vegetable oil or melted butter.  

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.  Don’t worry if you have a few lumps.  You don’t want to over beat the batter, it’ll produce tough pancakes.  

Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you heat the skillet.  Over low-medium heat melt a tablespoon of butter or vegetable oil .  Once skillet is hot, spoon a heaping 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the skillet.  When pancake starts to bubble slightly, carefully flip over.

Once browned and cooked through place pancakes on a oven proof plate and place in the oven set at 200 degrees F to keep warm while the rest of the pancakes are cooked.  

Serve with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar.. or maple syrup.  Delicious!

    Made these for my dude friend this weekend, and he told me that if I ever needed to impress a guy, make him these! He also said they were the best pancakes he’s ever eaten. They were delish, Thanks!

    I have a confession :o I’m not being a responsible adult right now; I keep finding blogs w/such great recipes, therefore, I can’t get any work done in the house. The ADD has now set in because I’ve gone from looking up natural spider repellant to crochet headbands to pumpkins pancakes & I can’t pull myself away from my laptop. I’ve ceased all thoughts of housework & am now considering venturing out in Hurricane Sandy to purchase necessary items (ran out of vanilla last night making sweet potato pudding). Looking for therapist now…gonna need help for these addictions…LOL. Thank you for sharing…PEACE & blessings :-)

    I was reviewing all of your breakfast and pumpkin recipes and didn’t see pumpkin scones. Wondered if you have every tried them. Will try your pumpkin pancakes this weekend for guests, but wanted to have something I could make in advance. Any advice?

    […] Recipe for Pumpkin Spice Pancakes Here. I omitted the ginger and cloves. To the final mix I added about 1/4-1/3 cup dark chocolate chunks (found at Whole Foods). These do get very thick as you can see by the picture. So a lot goes a long way on the plate. One can of pumpkin equals about 2 cups so I pack the rest of the can by 1/2 cup and freeze. […]
