It is officially fall that means our normal pancake Saturday is now pumpkin pancake Saturday. These pancakes are the fluffiest pancake I have ever made before! They have that great pumpkin pie flavor with the help of my homemade pumpkin pie spice mix . I also love using my home made pumpkin puree when I can get my hands on fresh pumpkins. If you can’t get or don’t feel like making your own pumpkin puree don’t worry about it use canned pumpkin. I have used it before and It taste very similar if you use the Libby’s brand of pumpkin puree. The key to these pancakes it not to over mix the batter once you add in your flour. If you over mix it than the gluten starts forming stronger bonds and they lose that light and fluffy texture.
