Description
These fluffy pumpkin pancakes are infused with warm fall spices and topped with a sweet homemade strawberry syrup, making them a delightful seasonal breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for greasing the griddle
- 2 cups strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup sugar (for syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for syrup)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, canned pumpkin, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- To make the strawberry syrup, combine the strawberries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 10-12 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Serve pancakes warm with the homemade strawberry syrup on top.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries for the syrup.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Store leftover syrup in the fridge for up to a week.
- These pancakes freeze well — reheat in a toaster or microwave.
