A Pumpkin Spice Breakfast I Can’t Get Enough Of

Whenever September comes around, I swear everything starts calling for pumpkin spice!

These pumpkin spice pancakes are exactly the kind of breakfast I want when I’m ready for ALL those cozy fall flavors.

The pancakes are soft and fluffy, with warm cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in every bite. You get that delicious pumpkin spice flavor that almost reminds me of Luke’s Pumpkin Pancakes from Gilmore Girls! They’re SO good!

I love how easy these pumpkin pancakes are to make, too. They’re perfect for a regular fall morning when you want something a little more special, but don’t want to spend forever in the kitchen.

Pumpkin pancakes just feel like such a fun way to welcome the season!

This recipe has honestly become one of my new favorites. I also LOVE pairing these pumpkin pancakes with a pumpkin spice latte! It’s SOOOO good! But then again, I am obsessed with all things pumpkin, so I am biased!

If you’re a fellow pumpkin spice lover, I am so pumped to share this with you… No pun intended, I swear! 😉

P.S. If you’re looking for another pumpkin recipe this fall, try my pumpkin pie frosting recipe.

Ingredients to Make Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Here’s everything you need to make these easy pumpkin pancakes! There are several ingredients, but trust me, the flavor is out of this world and SO worth it. My favorite pancake mix to use is Krusteaz, along with pumpkin puree, warm fall spices, and a few simple pantry staples.

  • Pancake mix: I love using Krusteaz.
  • Sugar: Adds just the right amount of sweetness.
  • Baking powder: Helps make the pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Cinnamon: Adds that cozy fall flavor.
  • Pumpkin pie spice: The star of the show for that classic pumpkin spice flavor!
  • Pumpkin puree: Make sure to use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Vanilla: Adds extra flavor and sweetness.
  • Milk: Brings the pancake batter together.
  • Toppings: Maple syrup, whipped cream, and an extra sprinkle of pumpkin spice!
