Back in August I posted a recipe for apple walnut pancakes. At that time the Blonde Duck from aduckinherpond.com posted a comment that asked me what was next – pumpkin pancakes. When I read her comment I thought pumpkin pancakes, now really is there even a thing like that. I had never eaten them and never even heard of such a thing.
I thought that some day that I would look for a recipe for these so called pumpkin pancakes. The thought of these always stayed in the back of mind. And now that it is the pumpkin season I became quite intrigued by the thought of pumpkin pancakes until I knew that I had to find the recipe and give them a try.
I have to say that they are one of the best pancakes I have ever eaten and anyone in my family that ate them agreed with me. The pumpkin and the cinnamon are a great combination in these pancakes which make them fantastic. Who knew pumpkin would taste so wonderful in a pancake.
I served the pumpkin pancakes with syrup that is called the absolute best pancake syrup which also has a little bit of cinnamon in it. (I am not sure where the recipe came from for the syrup). Yum, what a great combination this made. I am sure that I will be serving these pumpkin pancakes for a long time to come.
So thank you Blonde Duck for leaving me that comment and putting pumpkin pancakes in my head. I am so glad that I tried them! Also I would recommend visiting aduckinherpond.com, I am sure you will leave her blog with a smile on your face.

1 cup milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 slightly beaten egg yolks
2 tablespoon melted butter
2 stiffly beaten egg whites

Absolute Best Pancake Syrup
1/2 cup butter
1cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
Bring butter, sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract, corn syrup, and cinnamon to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once simmering, whisk in baking soda, and cook for 10 seconds before removing from heat. Serve warm. (Make sure you have a large enough saucepan, because the baking soda will cause the syrup to foam up).
Every time I come to your blog I leave with my wouth watering lol.
We have never tried anything with pumpkin before but my youngest daughter was in Boston a few weeks ago on a school trip and she tried pumpkin muffins and she said they were absolutely delicious (they had cinnamon in as well). So I must try and make something soon.
Oh my mouth is watering. We absolutely love pancakes and these look so fluffy and flavorful and the syrup- yumm!
It is I who am beholden to you. Because now I know what I’m making for dinner this week! Drooling. Totally drooling.
I love pumpkin pancakes! They look wonderful and your syrup sounds fantastic.
This stack of pancakes look delicious! Homemade pancakes with a homemade syrup – what could be a better breakfast than that?
Pancakes are so comforting! I can’t think of anyone who doesn’t love them!
What a great idea. I love pancakes especially when it’s drizzled with lots and lots of syrup!
The pancakes sound delectable! Especially with the cinnamon syrup! Almost like dessert for breakfast.
You are the pancake queen!
These look absolutely divine. I wonder if they would work for a sweet/savoury twist- perhaps with some goat’s cheese and arugula? Now you’ve got ME thinking! Thank you!
Oh YUM! I’ve seen a few variations for that buttermilk syrup and you are tempting me to try it. I love pumpkin baked goods, so pancakes a huge win in my family.

I’ve long had a Fall fling with pumpkin pancakes, and your fluffy puff version looks divine! Now I’m craving pancakes…
These sound great and it’s very interesting that you combine the egg whites in after beating them…I bet that makes these really fluffy – oh yum!
I have made a similar syrup wtih buttermilk and I have to agree with you – it’s sooo yummy and it has a taste like nothing else. Would go wonderfully with the pumpkin. I wish I had some buttermilk or I would whip some up this morning!
