*I originally shared this recipe on the blog in September 2016. I’m re-sharing it with my readers today with a video tutorial to make it even easier for you to make them at home! It is truly pumpkin season everywhere you look these days, isn’t it?? If you’ve been following our family’s journey these past few months you’ll know we’re currently living in Bucharest, Romania or as I like to call it, the land of horrendous traffic and no canned pumpkin. Yes, that’s right folks. There is not one can of pureed pumpkin to be found in this city which makes this girl just a little bit sad. Ok, a lot sad.
I know, I know, it’s not really something to complain about, especially since fresh pumpkin (dovleac in Romanian) is readily available here all throughout the fall months, so I’ll be busy making my own pureed pumpkin this year. It’s not such a big deal and I actually enjoy making my own staples like this from scratch anyway. But if you happen to know where I can get pureed pumpkin in a can (or jar) anywhere in Romania, please tweet me so I can keep making awesome pumpkin spice recipes like this one for you!!
These Pumpkin Spice Pancakes are such a great fall alternative to my healthy buttermilk pancakes and believe me, they are SO delicious. This recipe is super simple – I make it often for our family on the weekends and we love them with fresh fruit (apples or bananas are great!) and maple syrup, but if you’re looking for something a little more decadent, go ahead and enjoy a stack with a swirl of freshly whipped cream and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce!

The pumpkin in these pancakes makes them super moist and dense, but because they’re made with buttermilk they’re fluffy and airy at the same time! Enjoy them with a cup of your favourite coffee or my personal favourite fall drink, Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea (affiliate link)! And they’re great the second day too…we usually double the recipe for a big batch and throw a couple in the toaster the next morning for a delicious fall breakfast on the go! Trust me, if you’re into Pumpkin Spice you are going to LOVE these Pumpkin Spice Pancakes!

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Recipe: Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 6 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 2/3 cup pureed pumpkin
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- vegetable oil or cooking spray for frying
Recipe: Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, making sure to break up all the chunks of brown sugar.
- To a separate bowl, add the pureed pumpkin, buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla. Whisk these ingredients together until everything is incorporated.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold them together with a rubber spatula, making sure you don't overmix (stop folding when no streaks of flour remain).
- Preheat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and grease it with a little bit of vegetable oil or cooking spray.
- Once the oil has heated for a few seconds, turn the heat down to
- medium-low heat and carefully ladle about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan
- for each pancake, trying to disturb the batter as little as possible to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Once you see the edges beginning to brown slightly and a few bubbles
- breaking the surface of the batter, flip the pancakes over.
- Repeat this process until all your batter is gone. This recipe yields about 8 medium pancakes, but if you're looking for more than that feel free to double the recipe!
- Serve the pancakes hot off the pan with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce!

That’s great Lisa! So glad you loved them! Bet sure to let me know how you like the cinnamon rolls! 🙂
I made these for supper this evening and everyone loved them. I doubled the recipe and there’s lots left over. I didn’t have any buttermilk so I put lemon juice in with the milk for 10 minutes or so.
I have this printed out and we’ll be enjoying them in the future. Thank you!!
So glad you all loved them! Thanks for the feedback!
So glad you liked the recipe! Thanks for your feedback!
My pumpkin pancakes always end up being too wet or not pumpkiny enough. Maybe I need more sweetness like you have. These are beautiful, and I love that you make your own pumpkin puree! It’s definitely different than the canned stuff (and by different, I mean better). Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Felicia! I hope you enjoy the pancakes!!
Tried it for the first time and it was excellent. thanks so much for the recipie.
So glad you liked them! Thanks!
Made them this morning and they are delicious!! My daughters, who hardly ever agree on anything, loved them!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Delicious!!! I added a pumpkin spice cream cheese filling and it was over the top!!
That sounds like a delicious addition!🙂
Hi which vanilla extract did unused for this recipe. The brown or clear?
I use the brown extract, but either will work fine.
These are amazing, I was looking for a recipe to use up some pumpkin puree. Because I love cream cheese icing with my pumpkin baked goods, I mixed some cream cheese together with some maple syrup and put it in the microwave for 30 sec, to make a glaze for the pancakes, It tasted amazing!!!! Thank you for this recipe.
You’re welcome Natalie!!🙂
Fantastic!!
Thank you Holly!!
The best pancakes my husband and I have ever had. I used ginger instead of nutmeg, but these are mouth watering delicious. Easy to make. I make a double batch and freeze them. You cannot tell they are frozen. Scrummy yum goodness.
So glad you loved them!
