Perfect Fall Breakfast
There’s nothing I love better in the fall than baking with pumpkin and sweet potatoes and there’s perhaps no better fall breakfast than pumpkin pancakes, especially when topped with a bourbon vanilla maple syrup. The flavor of the pumpkin is boosted by cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg. All those wonderful fall spices that smell so enticing.
Add a pat of butter on top and the flavor combination is out of this world. You’ll want it to be fall all year long. And since these pancakes are made with canned pumpkin, making them all year long is totally doable.

Tips For Making Pumpkin Pancakes
- Pumpkin Pie Spice (2 1/2 teaspoons) can be substituted for the allspice, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
- The dry ingredients can be measured and mixed together the night before to save time in the morning.
- The addition of the vinegar adds a flavor that is similar to adding buttermilk to pancakes. So good!
