Trying to use up the rest of the canned pumpkin, I’ve been on a pumpkin recipe search. After pumpkin bread, comes pumpkin pancakes. I’m pretty sure I’ve never eaten pumpkin pancakes before but after trying this recipe I’m definitely going to be making them again.
The recipe is a highly rated one at allrecipes.com. I didn’t change a thing about the recipe. I took the advice from one of the comments and did not thin out the batter with more milk; the comment stated that the batter is supposed to be thick and the addition of more milk would dull the taste of the pumpkin. Instead, the comment said that the batter was supposed to be poured into the pan, then spread out with the back of a spoon.
The comment section has a lot of other tips and their personal changes to the recipe as well, definitely worth a read.
The recipe says it yields 6 servings, and stated that it made 12 pancakes. Following the recipe, I used 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and ended up with 17 pancakes! Pictured above is only 16, however, as I ate the very first one! They taste great with a bit of butter and maple syrup. :)
Oh my goodness… now *I* have a craving… for pumpkin pancakes! I bet these are delicious with the maple syrup! Guess what I’m having for breakfast Saturday morning?! :)
I love pumpkin anything, and have been craving pancakes because I can’t eat the ones in restaurants and have been tantalized enough – maybe this weekend!
These do look totally delish. Would it be crazy to substitute pureed frozen squash for the canned pumpkin? It’s cheaper and more available…Or does pumpkin puree have spice in it?
Um, and I might add pecans to the batter. Mmm.
I had a pumpkin pancake from a local dive nearly a year ago, and it was so amazingly tasty. It was really cake though, so I can imagine the batter had to be pretty thick for that one too. Mmm…. I wish I had that stack-o-pancakes right now.
Caitlin J, if you look in the baking aisle of your grocery store you should see cans of plain pureed pumpkin with the pie-making stuff. Don’t use the pumpkin pie filling, but the plain pureed pumpkin. I’m not sure how frozen would work with the pancakes, but you could always try it out. :D
