The minute November first hits, I become very basic. It's pumpkin spice EVERYTHING. I even put pumpkin spice in my pancakes. I love making these pumpkin pecan pancakes on the weekends.
What kind of oil to cook your pancakes in?
I personally prefer cooking the pumpkin pecan pancakes in canola oil. Canola oil has a high smoke point and doesn't impart any flavor into the pancakes.
How to make pumpkin pecan pancakes?
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin and melted butter. Whisk in the milk, followed by the eggs and maple syrup. Add the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of milk. Do not over-mix.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. The batter will be lumpy, do not over mix.
- Butter your griddle or spray with non-stick cooking spray and set to medium low heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake and top with 1-2 tablespoons of pecan pieces.
- Cook each pancake for approximately 2 minutes per side or until golden.
- Top the pancakes with whipped cream and candied pecans and maple syrup
When do you flip the pumpkin pecan pancakes?
The pancakes should cook for about 2 minutes per side. Flip the pancakes when you see bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the side of the pancakes start to set. Only flip the pancakes once.

How much baking soda? How much maple syrup?
Cari says
Thank you so much for catching that! It’s 1 teaspoon of baking soda, just fixed the recipe. For the maple syrup you can top the pancakes with as much (or as little) as you’d like.
