Questions & Replies
Hello, what is the calorie count?
The batter turned out way too think so I added more (almond) milk. They still would not cook all the way through, very gooey, and greasy. I tried different cooking times, temp, cooking oil, still did not want to cook through. Horrible. Just horrible.
Is it ground ginger or fresh?

These pancakes were a real hit at my house! All of my children loved them. I made a double recipe and ended up with some left over. Suffice it to say, they freeze and reheat in the toaster nicely. Just remember to put wax paper between them so they don't stick together. Also, if you are curious, 6 tbs. of pumpkin puree is about 1/3 of a can. Lastly, the batter is a little thick. If you like a little thinner batter and pancake, plan to add a little extra milk. Thanks for a great recipe!!!
Where's the 10-star button???!!! I ADORE pumpkin. My grandmother used to bring 2 pumpkin pies to Thanksgiving: one for the family, and one for me! I bought a can of pure pumpkin specifically to make pumpkin pancakes. While I was waiting for a morning that my husband was working so I could try them, I made #53751 (Pumpkin Butter), and #453580 (Pumpkin Grilled Cheese). When I called my daughter and her friend to breakfast, my daughter growled, "MOM! How do you even know Danielle likes pumpkin!?" They sat at the table where I'd placed the pancakes, pumpkin butter, whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles and syrup. Danielle took the teeniest bite in fear of hating them. AND I QUOTE: "I think my mouth died and went to heaven", she said. My daughter of course LOVED them as well!!! SUBSTITUTIONS: I used 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice instead (I keep it on hand for my recipe #452939), and used 3/4 cups flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. Used 2 tbsp applesauce in place of the butter, and based on reviews I used 1 1/4 cups milk to thin it out. Also used 1tbsp of Splenda in place of the sugar. Lastly, I used about 1/4 cup of pumpkin because, as I said, I LOVE PUMPKIN! This is a definite keeper! I can't wait for the family Christmas breakfast in our jammies with the whole family to show this one off!!!!! Thank you thank you Hope!
Excellent recipe! Only changes I made were to add more cinnamon and use brown sugar instead of white. I also let the batter rest a few minutes before using. The batter will be pretty thick, but will cook up fine. Used 1/4 cup measure as directed and my cakes cooked up in a little under 2 minutes per side on a 375 degree electric griddle. I didn't use any cooking spray since the griddle is nonstick. My yield was about 11 6" cakes. These have a great flavor and are slightly denser than regular pancakes, but are by far the fluffiest pumpkin ones I've ever had! Served with butter, syrup, and candied pecans.
These were the best pancakes I've ever had. I used buttermilk (I added an extra tablespoon or two since the batter was thick) and sprinkled on some pecans. Loved it!
I did two things differently with this recipe. I substituted 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder instead of all baking powder. I read somewhere that baking soda helps with browning. I also toasted the spices in a dry skillet before adding them to bloom them. Fantastic spicy flavor and super light and fluffy, they were like cake versions of pumpkin pie. Lovely!

The batter was very thick so I added a little more milk. Turned out much better.
I did not have canned pumpkin on hand, but I did have frozen butternut squash cubes. I cooked a few cubes in the microwave for about 3 minutes until fully tender and then used a stick blender to mix them into the wet ingredients. Also used buttermilk instead of regular milk. SO delicious!!
I substituted salt with NoSalt and sugar with Spelnda. Did not use cloves, as I was out.
I would say cook over medium-low heat (not medium) and cook much longer per side, closer to 10 minutes, definitely around 7-8, or until you can see small bubbles, then flip, and cook on the other side for a comparable amount of time.

I only poured in 2 1/2 cups milk as it seemed to be a lot of liquid then added a few extra tablespoons to get the right consistency. I also substituted spices for 3 tablespoons of pumpkin spice and 1/2 teaspoons ginger as well as 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla for depth! Excellent, just excellent!

When I did add it I ended up adding the whole box, 15 ounces. ( I doubled the recipe). I had some cinnamon chips, so added those and a handful of mini chocolate chips. After they were cooked we topped them with caramel cream cheese that I had picked up but wasn't sure what to use it on. So, I am sure the regular recipe is delicious so I am giving it 4 stars. I might give mine 5. =)","datePublished":"February 09, 2014","itemReviewed":{"@type":"Thing","name":"Light and Fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes"},"reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","worstRating":"1","ratingValue":4,"bestRating":"5"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"suznbnd_8546162"}},{"@type":"Review","description":"Absolutely delicious!

Since I really like the flavor of those I decided, why not? Might as well give this recipe a try (and the photos made it look very appetizing as well). In the end, I thought they were really good and tasted similar to the flavor of my beloved doughnuts.However, I might try using a tiny bit less nutmeg and ginger next time since those spices can be strong. If it helps anyone, I followed this recipe exactly (with the exception of skipping the pinch of cloves and using unsalted butter), used my griddle at 375 degrees, and the pancakes took 2 minutes on each side to cook. Also, I used 1/4 cup measure and ended up with 10 light and very fluffy pancakes. Overall, they came out great.

Hello, what is the calorie count?
The batter turned out way too think so I added more (almond) milk. They still would not cook all the way through, very gooey, and greasy. I tried different cooking times, temp, cooking oil, still did not want to cook through. Horrible. Just horrible.
Is it ground ginger or fresh?
These pancakes were a real hit at my house! All of my children loved them. I made a double recipe and ended up with some left over. Suffice it to say, they freeze and reheat in the toaster nicely. Just remember to put wax paper between them so they don't stick together. Also, if you are curious, 6 tbs. of pumpkin puree is about 1/3 of a can. Lastly, the batter is a little thick. If you like a little thinner batter and pancake, plan to add a little extra milk. Thanks for a great recipe!!!
Where's the 10-star button???!!! I ADORE pumpkin. My grandmother used to bring 2 pumpkin pies to Thanksgiving: one for the family, and one for me! I bought a can of pure pumpkin specifically to make pumpkin pancakes. While I was waiting for a morning that my husband was working so I could try them, I made #53751 (Pumpkin Butter), and #453580 (Pumpkin Grilled Cheese). When I called my daughter and her friend to breakfast, my daughter growled, "MOM! How do you even know Danielle likes pumpkin!?" They sat at the table where I'd placed the pancakes, pumpkin butter, whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles and syrup. Danielle took the teeniest bite in fear of hating them. AND I QUOTE: "I think my mouth died and went to heaven", she said. My daughter of course LOVED them as well!!! SUBSTITUTIONS: I used 2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice instead (I keep it on hand for my recipe #452939), and used 3/4 cups flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. Used 2 tbsp applesauce in place of the butter, and based on reviews I used 1 1/4 cups milk to thin it out. Also used 1tbsp of Splenda in place of the sugar. Lastly, I used about 1/4 cup of pumpkin because, as I said, I LOVE PUMPKIN! This is a definite keeper! I can't wait for the family Christmas breakfast in our jammies with the whole family to show this one off!!!!! Thank you thank you Hope!
Excellent recipe! Only changes I made were to add more cinnamon and use brown sugar instead of white. I also let the batter rest a few minutes before using. The batter will be pretty thick, but will cook up fine. Used 1/4 cup measure as directed and my cakes cooked up in a little under 2 minutes per side on a 375 degree electric griddle. I didn't use any cooking spray since the griddle is nonstick. My yield was about 11 6" cakes. These have a great flavor and are slightly denser than regular pancakes, but are by far the fluffiest pumpkin ones I've ever had! Served with butter, syrup, and candied pecans.
I did two things differently with this recipe. I substituted 1/2 tsp of baking soda and 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder instead of all baking powder. I read somewhere that baking soda helps with browning. I also toasted the spices in a dry skillet before adding them to bloom them. Fantastic spicy flavor and super light and fluffy, they were like cake versions of pumpkin pie. Lovely!
I did not have canned pumpkin on hand, but I did have frozen butternut squash cubes. I cooked a few cubes in the microwave for about 3 minutes until fully tender and then used a stick blender to mix them into the wet ingredients. Also used buttermilk instead of regular milk. SO delicious!!
I would say cook over medium-low heat (not medium) and cook much longer per side, closer to 10 minutes, definitely around 7-8, or until you can see small bubbles, then flip, and cook on the other side for a comparable amount of time.
