Then you are in for a treat if you have not tried this before! I hope you enjoy the world of pumpkin pancakes with me!

Reasons To Add Pancake Batter Into Pumpkin (Number Three Will Get You)

So, starting with why you should incorporate pumpkin to your pancake mix. It is not only the taste (even though it accounts for a major part)! So, pumpkin pancakes, yes? This is why they are a good idea:

  • Nutritional Punch: Pumpkin is rich in vitamins A and C and is full of fiber and antioxidants. It’s basically a superfood.
  • Water and Untexture: The pumpkin puree helps keep your pancakes wonderfully moist (yes, I cringe too) and light. Who doesn’t love a fluffy, tender pancake?
  • Flavored: The earthy, slightly sweet taste of pumpkin and warm spices are natural friends.

Initial Things: What You Have to Get

Let’s gather our ingredients. And here is what you will need to make these amazing pancakes:

  • Your favorite pancake mix (store-bought or homemade)
  • Pure pumpkin puree (not the pie filling!)
  • Eggs
  • Milk (can be any milk alternative you fancy; I used Oatly)
  • Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger (almost anything spicy!)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Okay, now to the good stuff. The recipe for these delicious pancakes is below: As usual.

1. Pick Your Pancake Mix

All you do is prepare your favorite pancake mix. The addition of pumpkin will do its thing, I promise! So whether you are using a classic buttermilk bag (below) or utilizing a gluten-free mix, you are set with your kva.

2. Prep the Pumpkin Puree

Great if it is canned pumpkin puree. Ensure it’s the 100% pumpkin puree and not the spiced pie filling. Or get even more inventive by having a go at making your own:

Pumpkin Puree: Yes, you can make your own homemade pumpkin puree in a jiffy by simply roasting or steaming chunks of grinded fresh pumpkins till they are tender and turning it into a smooth paste. Easy peasy!

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine:

  • 1 cup of pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk, or as by the directions on your bag of mix

4. Spice It Up

Sprinkle in your spices for that comforting yumminess:

  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of nuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ginger

5. Dry and Wet Ingredients Together

Add pancake mix to wet goods SLOWLY, ALMOST light folding until just combined. Whisk until just combined; overmixing will make your pancakes rubbery instead of light and fluffy.

6. Cook Your Pancakes

Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with some butter or oil. Add 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. When bubbles appear on the surface, turn over and cook until bottoms are golden brown.

  • Make the cake: If necessary, adjust consistency; add a little splash of milk.
