As autumn’s chill whispers through the air, I find myself craving more than just the usual pumpkin fare. I decided to delve deeper into the spice cupboard, seeking a pancake recipe that offers a sensory journey rather than just flavor. These pancakes aren’t your average breakfast—each bite releases a comforting symphony of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of clove.

What makes this recipe special is the way the spices marry with the pumpkin, creating an aroma that could lure anyone off their morning walk. Plus, there’s chaos in the kitchen—sometimes the batter’s a tad thick or too runny, but nothing a quick tweak can’t fix. It’s a balance of joy and gentle chaos, just like the season itself.

Just picture the steam rising off a stack of these warm pancakes, the golden edges flickering under a pat of melting butter. They’re more than breakfast; they’re an autumnal hug on a plate. And when drizzled with maple syrup, every bite is a cozy reminder of seasonal magic.

Spiced Pumpkin Pancakes

These pumpkin pancakes are made by combining pumpkin puree with a spiced batter, then cooking on a griddle until golden and fluffy. The final pancakes have a tender texture with crisp edges, infused with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, often served with butter and maple syrup.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree unsweetened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or vegetable oil

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or non-stick skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, milk, and melted butter until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes; this allows the gluten to relax and ensures fluffiness when cooking.
  5. Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat until a few droplets of water dance on the surface.
  6. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil, then ladle about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, spreading it slightly with the back of the ladle.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then gently flip with a spatula.
  8. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through, then transfer to a serving plate.
  9. Repeat the process with remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  10. Serve the warm pancakes stacked on plates, topped with butter and drizzled with maple syrup for a cozy autumnal breakfast.

These pumpkin spice pancakes are more than a seasonal treat—they’re a journey through warm memories and aromatic comfort. Perfect for cozy mornings or lazy weekends when you want to indulge with ease and style. Every fragrant bite is a reminder that autumn isn’t just a season, but a celebration of spice and everything nice.

They also make a wonderful centerpiece for any fall breakfast table, inviting conversation and smiles. The aroma alone can turn even the grumpiest mornings into a moment of joy. As the season shifts, these pancakes will become a treasured tradition—one crispy edge at a time.
