Buttermilk Pumpkin Pancakes

For some reason, I really love breakfast food. Eggs, bacon, pancakes and all of it just makes me so happy. Perhaps that’s why you’ll find so many breakfast recipes on my site! Ha! And now, since it’s officially (ok, unofficially) PUMPKIN season, I had to whip up some Buttermilk Pumpkin Pancakes. And of course, I had to share the recipe with you!

More Pancakes, Please!

When I was little, pancakes were a rare food on our breakfast table. We all loved them, but my mom sure didn’t love making them. And no offense to my awesome mom, but she just wasn’t much of a pancake maker. Sure, she tried, but it usually involved a box or that weird plastic bottle that you add ingredients and shake. Ironically, I thought those were the only types of pancakes out there, besides the ones you could order at restaurants. I had no idea that people even MADE pancakes from SCRATCH!

Pancakes, Easy To Make, Easy To Love

Flash forward several years when I first set out on my own. I still bought the boxed stuff and thought nothing of it. It was easy, I was hungry and I didn’t have much money. Done. Then, when I started getting more interested in cooking, I thought I would try pancakes. I mean, they seemed easy enough. And you know what I found out? They ARE super easy to make! Well, that changed everything. No more boxes for me. It’s all about the scratch pancakes at my house!

Buttermilk Pumpkin Pancakes

And that brings me to these Buttermilk Pumpkin Pancakes. Besides loving breakfast food, I love pumpkin. So why not combine the two? These are the perfect treat on a cool, fall day, but they’re also amazing for a weeknight “brinner.” Like all good pancakes, these come together quickly, especially if you’ve got little hands that can help you! I always enlist the help of my little sous chef to help with all of the stirring.

Hungry Yet?

Sure you are! Go ahead, you have my permission to go and get yourself a can of pureed pumpkin, it’s time! Whip up a batch of these pancakes and let me know how you like them in the comments section below! Happy Pancake-ing! Need more pancake recipes?
