Pumpkin Pancakes are a must make fall breakfast. Make a double batch of this pumpkin pancake recipe, they are freezer friendly!
Fall is the season where everyone covers everything in pumpkin spice, and we’re okay with this, in fact, we agree with this. We enjoy pumpkin all year round, but we enjoy it to the fullest during the fall. There’s nothing better than going pumpkin picking and then roasting pumpkin seeds. We especially love making homemade pumpkin puree at home, but you can easily find pumpkin puree in the stores, even organic.
When purchasing pumpkin puree you want to make sure you’re not purchasing pumpkin pie puree. The difference is one is flavored and ready to go for a pie, whereas just plain pumpkin puree is ready for whatever you are going to make that calls for pumpkin.
The easy pumpkin pancake recipe is a bite full of fall. You smell the pumpkin spice aroma throughout the house and it’s just pure heaven taking the first bite. It’s easy to whip up and you can even freeze any leftovers.
