Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes aren’t just for the Fall, pumpkin season. We use our Pumpkin Pie Spice to add all the right spiced flavor you expect in any pumpkin dish. Pumpkin Pancakes are good all year, and maybe even the best in the other seasons when they can remind you of the Fall holiday times. Our recipe uses pumpkin puree to add pumpkin flavor and not just the spice. It also adds a nice texture and keeps them moist as well. The brown sugar compliments the pumpkin and pumpkin spices. They are so good. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Makes About 12 Pancakes

Ingredients:
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
3 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Sheffield’s Pumpkin Pie Spice
¼ Cup White Granulated Sugar
¼ Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup Pumpkin Puree
4 Tablespoons Butter Melted
1 ½ Cups Milk
2 Large Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions:
Preheat a non-stick griddle on medium-low heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes can burn before they cook thoroughly.

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and Sheffield’s Pumpkin Pie Spice. Whisk to combine well.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, white granulated, milk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine well.

Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredient bowl, and whisk to combine. It will be a bit lumpy, so don’t over mix. Let rest for 5 minutes. You can add a bit more milk if you like a thinner batter, but don’t make it too thin or you lose the added texture and flavor of the pumpkin puree.

Spray with non-stick spray, or add a bit of butter if desired. We’ve added spray, butter and nothing. It’s all personal preference.

Using a measuring cup, pour a 1/3 cup of batter on the griddle for each pancake. Spread the batter out into about a 5″ circle. Too thick of a pancake, and they won’t cook evenly all the way through and you could have uncooked batter in the middle.

Cook for 1 ½ minutes. Flip over and cook another minute. They should be a nice light brown on both side and cooked all the way through but not dried out.

Serve with butter, maple syrup, some crushed walnuts, pepitas, whipped cream or other topping of your choice. Enjoy!
