These homemade Pumpkin pancakes are quick to whip up, light and fluffy and have a lovely fall flavor. They are perfect for a weekend brunch!
Last week I made pumpkin cake roll and had some leftover pumpkin purée, so I decided to make these yummy pancakes today. This recipe is especially helpful if you have leftover pumpkin purée from a fall baking project, that does not call for a whole pumpkin purée can. I love my pumpkin pancakes topped with some crushed pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup, but you can get creative or use your favorite topping.

Tips To Make The Best Pumpkin Pancakes
- Always mix the dry ingredients separately in a bowl.
- Mix the liquid ingredients in another separate bowl.
- Combine the flour mixture to the liquid mixture, fold in until incorporated, but do not over mix the batter.
- Use a rubber spoon to combine the batter instead of a whisk.
- The batter should be a little thick so that you have to manually spread it in the pan to form a circle shape.
