Pumpkin Pancakes

JoAnne Booth from BLACKWOOD, NJ

They're delicious. They taste like autumn. We'll definately make them again. There's nothing like homemade goodness straight from your own kitchen and you know exactly what went into them. The recipe is in my card file.
Rave reviews!

Jan Wilkins from Blytheville, AR

Occasionally, we like to have sausage & pancakes for the evening meal. I used this one....family gave it rave reviews.

fall pancakes yummy

D'lish

Aisha Brown-Sparks from Brampton, ON

These pancakes were very tasty. We had them christmas morning, a very happy crowd. This recipe was easily adaptable to accomodate dairy allergy, I used soya milk in one batch for my son, my husband had both and couldn't tell the difference. My family has asked me to make these pancakes 5 times since christmas. I make the batter the night before so that I can serve them up on weekday mornings, sure beats frozen waffles!
Just right punpkin pancakes

CARLA Carmichael from COLDSPRING, TX

This receipe was just what I was looking for. Something good and something for half of can of punpkin left over from another receipe.
Husband loves pumpkin & pancakes

Colleen Miles from VINTON, VA

My husband followed the recipe and made his own pumpkin pancakes. He loved the flavor, but felt the batter was a bit thick. The next time he makes a batch, he's planning to make a thinner batter. As for the pumpkin maple sauce, that didn't go over as well. He thought there was something missing in terms of flavor notes -- sweetness level was ok, but the whole flavor wasn't blossoming right. In general, good pancakes, not so good sauce. However, my husband mixed peanut butter with maple syrup and put that on his pumpkin pancakes --- to him, that was a home run.
So Pumpkiny

Kathleen Wood from LEONARDTOWN, MD

I love anything that has pumpkin in it, these were a great treat for breakfast or as a snack. Just reheat in the toaster and they are great.

Yvonne Aponte-Rivera from WESTMINSTER, MD

I have been wanting to try this recipe for a while, but I just never had. I finally made them for my family, and I am really glad that I did. They were a big hit!
Yummy pancakes

Elaine M. Cotler from

These pancakes are terrific. I did add more pumpkin pie spice and some vanilla. They were fluffy light and really tasty. Since I live alone some went in the freezer for later.
These were excellent!

erin zoltanski from saint peters, MO

We have a restaurant around us that makes pumpkin pancakes and this recipe was equally as good if not better. Everyone loved these!
Pancakes with whipped cream topping

Louise Canter from VILLA HILLS, KY

These are great! Try them with a generous amount of whipped cream topping...they taste like pumpkin pie!

I first tried pumpkin pancakes at an IHOP restaurant and thought they were great. These pancakes are delicious. My husband and I both loved them.
Sunday Morning Keeper!

Cynthia Garrett from MANHATTAN BEACH, CA

It is a family tradition to make home-made pancakes every Sunday morning. When I was cleaning out my pantry I found a leftover can of pumpkin from Thanksgiving. This was the perfect recipe to use it! The kids gave it a thumbs up and my husband proclaimed it a keeper! So easy - so yummy!!

Sleepover Breakfast

DEBRA TRADER from PITTSBURGH, PA

I often make these for my daughters friends who sleep over. I am always asked for the recipe to take home or the parent will call later to ask about it...we love them!
Wonderful Pancakes

Linda Branham from Fenton, MO

I had some wonderful pumpkin pancakes at a neighborhood restaurant while I was visiting my daughter in Florida. I knew the best place to search for a recipe would be VeryBestBaking.com. These pancakes are simply wonderful. I'm a newlywed (2nd time around) and my husband and I loved these pancakes. I have forwarded the recipe to my daughter, who is a terrific cook!
Not for everyone

CHERYL PETERSEN from ELBOW LAKE, MN

This was a very simple and delicious recipe - my husband and I both enjoyed it. However, my children didn't really care for the syrup. I think that if I had just served the pancakes with regular maple syrup, they would have eaten it.
Pumpkin Pancakes

Jeneva Newman from COTE ST LUC, PQ

It was my first time trying this reciepe and it was delicous. I have leftover pancake mixture in the fridge.
Very tasty

CRICKET ELIEFF from SYRACUSE, NY

I have been making pumpkin pancakes for my daughter since her first Thanksgiving. She really liked this recipe. I didn't make the syrup or use the nuts though. She's 4 now and still loves them with butter.
Taste and smell wonderful

Penny Cobb from BAILEY, NC

After ordering pumpkin pancakes in a restaurant, I just had to try to make them at home so I did what I always do, I came to VBB.com. This is an easy and delicious recipe that I will use again.
Absolutely Awesome

Susan Southern from Gilbert, AZ

I made this recipe last year and it was just as good as the restaurant I had them at. You didn't need syrup on them they were so good. This year I tried a different receipe and it did not turn out as good. Highly recommend.
YUM PANCAKES!!

Georgette Vasquez from Kenosha, WI

I love to make pancakes for my family. These are a super great hit. Even my dad looks foward to me bringing these over on the weekends.
Pumpkin Pancakes

Dusti Christensen from Goodridge, MN

My family loved this pumpkin treat! I made the syrup along with a cinnamon syrup, and both tasted great with these pancakes. I will be making them again next weekend, when we have overnight guests.
My Sugar Free Version

Susan Anderson from GENESEO, KS

These are FABULOUS! Everyone that I have let try them has LOVED them. I use Splenda and sugar free maple syrup.
pancakes were a hit!

LINDA REIN from YOUNGSTOWN, OH

These pumpkin pancakes went over well in my family of 5. However, none of us liked the sauce. Pumpkin overload! I'd be willing to try the pumpkin sauce again, but would greatly reduce the amount of pumpkin called for in the recipe.
Great pancakes!

KARA COOK from Elk Ridge, UT

I have made these pancakes twice and both times my family enjoyed them. The second time I used 1/2 cup oats in place of 1/2 cup of the flour. They were more hearty and we enjoyed them even more. I served them with a cinnamon syrup, I haven't tried the pumpkin syrup.
Pumpkin Pancakes

Kelly Nix from SOCIAL CIRCLE, GA

Pumpkin Pancakes

Elaine Thompson from SURREY, BC

Had this the first time during Halloween season....We enjoy these so much that we have them a few times during the year now!
Pumpkin Pancakes

Alice Keeney from STRONGSVILLE, OH

I've eaten pumpkin pancakes, but have never made them. If I had know how easy they were, I would have tried them before. This recipe is delicious, even though we used maple syrup.
My lower Carb attempt!

Morgan McCabe from Hobart, IN

Tried making the pancakes with Splenda and the sauce with sugar free syrup - not bad!!
Pumpkin Pancakes

JIM APLIN from ORLANDO, FL

This was my first time making & having pumkin pancakes. They were delicious & will have them again. I like them so much,that I'll make them when I have family stay over.
excellent to freeze

deena satterfield from deeland, FL

I made these for the first time and was so impressed that I made an additional batch that same day. The pumpkin pancakes are very moist so they freeze wonderfully and are as fresh tasting and moist out of the freezer as they were the same day I originally made them. wonderful with maple syrup as well.
delicious pumpkin pancakes

Nicole Portell from SAINT CHARLES, MO

I made these for the first time today, using my new griddle. They were great! They're heavier than your average pancake, but they have a wonderful texture. I suggest using just plain maple syrup instead of the pumpkin maple syrup. Delish!
Holiday tradition become new fave!

Melanie D. from STATEN ISLAND, NY

I made these for the last few years around the holidays and my family absolutely loved them. This year when I purchased my Libby's and carnation to make some pumpkin pies I made sure to remember to get some extra cans so my kids can enjoy them not only on Christmas morning but all year round.
Great Cakes!

ELAINE LARSEN from STATEN ISLAND, NY

I couldn't get these pumpkin pancakes onto the table fast enough. So simple to make and delicious too. Can even be eaten without any syrup that's how tasty they are.
Pumpkin Pancakes

Eilda Martinez from Coeur d Alene, ID

These were the best pumpkin pancakes I have ever had. My whole family loved them!
Pumpkin Pancakes

Tami Santistevan from WEST JORDAN, UT

The husband wanted pancakes this last weekend for breakfast. I told him lets try a different type of pancake. He rolled his eyes and said well they better be good. I said I've never gotten a bad recipe from Nestles yet. Well, he like them but, he perferred them with whipping cream or homemade honeybutter. Thanks again!
Nice change

Stephanie from Nebraska

This is good for getting away from standard pancakes. I also tried the pumpkin syrup. My husband and son liked the pancakes, but didn't care much for the syrup. I enjoyed both, but think the syrup would go better on regular pancakes or waffles.
These Rock!

Kelly Hart from WILLOW STREET, PA

I made these pancakes for my family for the harvest season. They were great. I mixed the dry ingredients the night before and the rest was a snap in the morning. Thanks for the recipe.
Great for dinner too!

barbe saint john from sf, CA

I just made these as a very late lunch/early dinner for myself. YUMMY!!!! I added a bit more spice to mine-ground ginger and cardamon. I also only used 1/2 the brown sugar and added Splenda. VERY tasty! I ate them with some spiced cinnamon cream cheese I had for bagels.. I had to stop myself, they were soo good I wanted to keep eating them.
okay

Kimberly Maring from Manlius, NY

I thought these were a little heavy for pancakes, although my kids really liked the flavor. It also made A LOT of pancakes. Next time I would try to cut the recipe in half
Pumpkin Pancakes a Plus!

Charlene Biltz from LEAVENWORTH, KS

I tried these pancakes hoping for something extra special for brunches with my granddaughter. They came out wonderfully spicey without the sometimes overbearing pumpkin pie taste. They are also good for a quick supper, as they freeze well when cooled then wrapped in freezer bags.
pumpkin pancakes

denise fedorek from yo., OH

delicious.. Great recipe for the fall season.
nicole

nicole metaxas from PINEHURST, NC

The syrup was really good and turned out like a pumpkin butter spread. I was a little disappointed with the texture of the pancakes because they seemed more "rubbery" than light and fluffy.
My teenagers loved these!

Tamara Armitage from BLAINE, WA

These pancakes were easy to make, and my teenagers loved them, as did my husband.
