I know you’re probably thinking “Isn’t NYC in a snowstorm right now, but yet you’re posting a pumpkin recipe?”.   You’re right.  NYC is under a blanket of beautiful white snow.  And I still have over 100 pounds of pumpkins from the Fall garden decorating my apartment.

Can you believe it?   We have big pumpkins, pie size, and munchkins sprawled out all over the apartment just like it was still Halloween.   I have to clear a few out as they go bad, but at this rate I think I’m good to go with fresh pumpkins for at least the next few months!

If you don’t have any fresh pumpkins lying around don’t worry.  You can use frozen pumpkin puree that you kept from your Fall pumpkins (remember how easy it is to make?) or you can use canned pumpkin from the store.

Being a girl who loves pumpkin year round and doesn’t believe that pumpkin only needs to be celebrated in the Fall I wanted to bake up a pumpkin breakfast to satisfy my pancake craving I’ve been having.    Pumpkin pancakes are one of those foods that are near perfection for me. These pancakes are so light and fluffy!

If you’ve gone to a local restaurant or bakery in the Fall you’ve probably seen the special limited edition “Pumpkin Pancakes” signs.  You better get them quick before they’re gone!  But these pancakes are so easy to make with ingredients that can be used year around, that you won’t have to wait until Fall – you can make them now!

Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

Throw a little dab of butter on top, definitely add some maple syrup and you have the perfect breakfast (or dinner!).  If you want to make them extra pumpkin flavored, you can add pumpkin butter on top too! These pancakes are fluffy, moist and have a delicious pumpkin flavor and spices to take them to that next level.  Pumpkin pancakes, I love you.

Usually I will make a big batch of these by doubling or tripling the recipe to freeze for later.   You’ll just need to throw them in a freezer bag to freeze.   Then you’ll microwave them just like you do for any store bought frozen pancakes.  Except these ones are so much better than store bought pancakes because they’re homemade!

Easy Pumpkin Pancakes

These pancakes are easy to make and are made just like traditional “from scratch” pancakes, with the addition of 1/2 cup pumpkin puree. After your batter is made you’ll want to spray a pan or griddle with cooking spray and add 1/3 cup batter per pancake. Then cook them for a few minutes on both sides until slightly light browned.

I hope you enjoy these Pumpkin Pancakes soon!

    Pumpkin puree is not a high protein food.
