Pumpkin Pancakes are a fall breakfast staple! Adding Greek yogurt lightens them up, adds protein, and keeps the pancakes delicious and moist!
Having Pumpkin Pancakes in the fall for breakfast is a MUST for me! They are so delicious, have the perfect hint of pumpkin, and just put me in a good mood! These pumpkin pancakes are simple to make, can be frozen, and the whole family will love them! I use my homemade pumpkin puree for this recipe, but canned works just as well! Serve them alongside this fruit salad for the perfect breakfast!
Making pumpkin pancakes is very simple, and it's likely all the ingredients are already in your pantry!
How to make Pumpkin Pancakes:
**Scroll down for full ingredient list and recipe**
- Add the dry ingredients to a bowl, mix and set it aside. Add the wet ingredients to another bowl, stir well to combine. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined (don't over-mix).
- Preheat a griddle over medium heat, and grease with butter or non-stick spray. Add about ¼ cup of batter to the griddle, and cook for a few minutes, or until small bubbles are coming through the batter; flip and cook another minute (or more if needed), and remove from the griddle. Continue until all the pancakes are cooked!
- Add your favorite toppings to the pumpkin pancakes; syrup, whipped cream, caramel, or my favorite - homemade pumpkin butter and syrup!
How to freeze Pumpkin Pancakes:
- Allow the pumpkin pancakes to cool completely. Add cooled pancakes to a freezer safe bag (I like the gallon size), then squeeze out the extra air. Place in freezer. Remove pancakes as you need them.
- To cook: Place a single pumpkin pancake on a microwave safe plate, and cook for 1 minute in the microwave, flip the pancake and cook 15-20 more seconds if needed. Serve and enjoy!
- Pancakes should stay good up to 1 year in freezer if stored properly!

Delicious when I made them last fall! Has anyone made these as a tray bake (on a sheet pan)? Wondering if it would turn out to make breakfast a smoother flow timing wise. Also wondering if you can make the batter the night before & cook them in the morning?
Suse
Wondering the same thing! Have you tried it?
