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. 🍂

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.
