Pumpkin spice pancakes are soft, gently sweet, and full of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, with real pumpkin keeping the centers tender.
The batter should be thick but pourable. Gentle mixing and medium griddle heat prevent dense pancakes and scorched spices.

ShiMuv Recipe
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1½ cups buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
How to Make It
- Mix the maple butter. Stir softened butter with maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth; set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients. Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
- Combine wet ingredients. Whisk pumpkin, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Make the batter. Fold wet into dry just until combined. A few small lumps are fine. Rest 5 minutes.
- Heat the griddle. Set over medium heat and grease lightly. A drop of water should sizzle steadily, not vanish instantly.
- Cook the first side. Scoop about ¼ cup batter per pancake and cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles stay open and edges look matte.
- Flip once. Cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and the centers spring back lightly.
- Serve. Stack warm pancakes and top with cinnamon maple butter. Add maple syrup if desired.
Recipe tip: Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, so you control the sweetness and spices.
Food safety: Do not taste raw batter because it contains raw flour and eggs. Cook pancakes until the centers are fully set.
