Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes 🎃

When I first made these pumpkin pancakes, the smell alone made me smile. They turned out so soft and full of flavor that I didn’t even need extra toppings — just a drizzle of maple syrup and a cozy blanket. For me, these pancakes aren’t just a recipe; they’re a reminder to slow down, enjoy mornings, and find sweetness in small things. 🍂

🍂 A Cozy Morning in Every Bite

Some breakfasts just fill your stomach — but others fill your heart, too. These Pumpkin Pancakes are the kind that make your kitchen smell like comfort and your morning feel like a warm hug.
Each fluffy stack is infused with real pumpkin purée and cozy spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. The moment you drizzle maple syrup on top and watch it soak through the layers… you know you’re in for something special.

Whether you’re enjoying them on a lazy Sunday morning or serving brunch to friends, these pancakes bring autumn to your plate in the most delicious way possible.

Wet Ingredients:

¾ cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
