Name: Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes

I like the flour mix of half white, half wheat. I think it makes for a heartier pancake. I made some with toasted pecans. Oh so good!

I make a bigger batch to use all the pumpkin. They freeze great too. Add some chocolate chips for the kids.

We loved these pancakes! The only change I made was using whole milk instead of fat free. Delicious!

This past Sunday, had my son and his family over and I made these delicious pancakes..they were a hit with everyone. They were extremely easy to prepare, and great pumpkin flavor. I too doubled the recipes and made it with whole milk. Definitely making these again.

I order pumpkin pancakes year round at my favorite local home style diner because they are so fluffy, flavorful & delicious. I really wanted to try to replicate making them at home. This recipe is everything I was hoping for...lots of spice, moist & tender, good pumpkin flavor. I doubled the recipe & used only AP flour as it's what I had on hand. Love, love, love. Going to use my electric griddle & make a bigger batch & freeze so I have them on hand. Leftovers reheated perfectly in the microwave.

These were delicious! I'm trying to find a way to feed more vegetables to my toddler and a pumpkin is great for you and these pancakes are a great way to do it. They are very fluffy and moist and taste great!

These are tasty to be sure, but when I read that this recipe was for 2 servings (4 pancakes) I decided to triple the recipe; which made a boat load of 5 inch pancakes! So I fed my family of 4 (with one that eats like a teenager) and had enough leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast. I used an ice cream scoop to measure the pancakes onto the griddle.
