Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes With Pumpkin Puree
- 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. You can also add a pinch of allspice and/or cloves if you like.
- Flour: In general, pancake recipes tend to turn out well using all-purpose flour. For a healthier version of pancakes, use whole wheat flour.
- Melted butter: I think melted butter is the best option for these pancakes, but if you like, you can substitute vegetable oil for butter using a 1:1 ratio.
- 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.
Expert Tips
- If you want to make evenly shaped pancakes, you can use pancake pans. Another way is to use a small measuring cup to pour the pancake batter (1/4 cup is good).
- 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 or butter in your pan.
- When bubbles start to appear on the top surfaces of the pancakes, turn them over.
Optional Add-ins
- Chocolate chips: Bring these pumpkin pancakes to the next level of decadence by adding chocolate chips to the pancake batter.
- Chopped nuts: The pecans or walnuts will add a delightful crunch and a rich, nutty flavor to complement the pumpkin flavor. Simply chop the toasted pecans or walnuts and mix them into the pancake batter before cooking.
