What Do You Need to Make Fluffy Pumpkin Pancake
- Pumpkin puree: To make these pancakes, you can use homemade pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin puree. I usually use homemade and fresh pumpkin puree.
- Spice: I really like the combination of cinnamon, ginger, and a little nutmeg along with the pumpkin flavor and I do not add allspice but you can add a small amount of it.
- Flour: For a healthier version of pancakes, use whole wheat flour.
- Melted butter: I think melted butter is the best option for this pancake, but if you like, you can also use vegetable oil.
- Sugar: You can use brown sugar, maple syrup, or regular sugar as a sweetener for this pancake.
- Egg: You will need one or more eggs, depending on the number of pancakes you make.
- Milk: Milk adds moisture, and keeps the pancakes fluffy.
- Baking powder: Baking powder helps leaven the pancake batter, creating a soft and fluffy texture.

- Make sure that all your pancake ingredients are at room temperature and fresh.
- Do not over mix the pancake batter.
- You shouldn’t put too much oil on your pan.
- When bubbles start to appear on the top surfaces of the pancakes, turn them over.
