As if these aren't delicious enough, I added an easy-to-make Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter. The pancakes combined with the brown sugar cinnamon butter and pure maple syrup reminds me of a pumpkin cinnamon bun!

Even though this is quite the indulgence for breakfast, I love all the added health benefits the pumpkin puree brings to these pancakes. Pumpkin is chock full of good-for-you-stuff! The kids will love these pancakes because they are delicious, and moms get the satisfaction of knowing they are nutritious too! I love that!

Madison was a little jealous to hear we ate pumpkin pancakes without her, and she doesn't even like pancakes!! I'm planning to make these for our Thanksgiving breakfast, so it's all good! She'll get to enjoy them <smile>

These pancakes are simple to make. With a little prep work, you can have these on the table in no time! If you are making Homemade Pumpkin Puree, be sure to make that up ahead of time. I also recommend making the butter the day before, but if you are like me and tend to forget, just take the butter out of the fridge first thing, so it can soften or slowly soften it in the microwave, but be careful not to melt it.

Buttermilk Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

Buttermilk Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup Easy Homemade Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Whisk to mix well.
  2. In a large bowl mix 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, 1 cup Easy Homemade Pumpkin Puree, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. You can whisk this by hand or with a mixer.
  3. Heat your skillet over medium heat. I used a small cast iron skillet and made my pancakes one-at-a-time, but you can use a large skillet to speed up the process. A cast iron or stainless steel skillet will yield the best looking pancakes.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk just to combine. You don't want to over mix.
  5. Using a paper towel, or a heat safe brush, lightly coat the skillet with vegetable oil. If using a paper towel, be careful not to burn your fingers! You can use tongs to hold the towel and wipe it around the pan to save those fingerprints! Be sure you are only light coating the bottom and sides of the skillet. Too much oil will make blotchy pancakes.
  6. Scoop the pancake batter into the skillet. I use a small ladle to do this. An ice cream scooper works well too. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes until they bubbles start to pop on top and they are golden brown. Carefully flip the pancakes over and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown. The cook times will vary depending on how hot your skillet is. Adjust the temp as needed to get the desired results. If the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the temp. If they are taking longer than 2-3 minutes to get golden brown, you'll want to bump the temp up a little. It takes a little experimenting, but once you get the right temp you'll be making perfectly gorgeous pancakes every time! Continue cooking pancake batter in this manner until gone. Serve with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter and Pure Maple Syrup. Enjoy!
To make brown sugar cinnamon butter just combine 1/2 stick softened butter with 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and store in the fridge. Bring to room temp for serving.

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 mins. Cook time: 20 mins.
Total time: 30 mins.
