Storage Tips
Storing my delicious pumpkin spice pancakes is simple! If I’m not eating them right away, I let them cool completely on a wire rack. This prevents them from getting soggy.
For short-term storage, I place the pancakes in an airtight container. They go in the fridge and will stay fresh for 3-4 days. Easy peasy! π
If I need them to last longer, I freeze them. I stack the pancakes with wax paper between each one. Then, I seal them in a freezer bag, squeezing out as much air as possible.
When I want to reheat, I pop the pancakes in the toaster or microwave. They’re good as new! Just remember, never store them while they’re hot. That keeps them moist and yummy later!
Here’s a quick recap:
- Cool them completely
- Airtight container for the fridge
- Freeze with wax paper in between
- Reheat in toaster or microwave
Now, I can enjoy pumpkin spice pancakes any day of the week! π₯β¨

Tips & Tricks
Making Pumpkin Spice Pancakes is super fun, and I’ve got some awesome tips to make them even better! ππ₯
- Equipment: Keep it simple with a whisk, a non-stick pan, and a mixing bowl. A spatula for flipping is essential!
- Ingredients: Use fresh spices for a bold flavor. You can also try almond or oat milk for a twist.
- Instructions: Mix wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them. This keeps the pancakes fluffy!
For the perfect pancakes, don’t overmix the batter. A few lumps are totally okay! They’ll make your pancakes fluffier.
If you love crispy edges like me, cook the pancakes in a little bit of oil or butter. It adds a nice crunch! π§
Feeling fancy? Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor! This makes breakfast extra special.
Want to save time in the morning? Prepare the dry ingredients the night before. This makes cooking super fast and easy.
For a fun twist, try pouring the batter into fun shapes on the pan. The kids (and even adults) will love this! π

I’m thrilled to dive into the world of pumpkin spice pancakes! There are some tips and tricks for making them fluffy, healthy, and tasty. Plus, we’ve got ideas for tasty toppings and even ways to switch up the recipe a bit. ππ₯
What’s the secret to making the fluffiest pumpkin spice pancakes?
To get the fluffiest pancakes, I always use fresh baking powder and don’t overmix the batter. Keep the batter a little lumpy and let it rest for a few minutes before cooking. This helps them puff up nicely. β³
How can I make a healthier version of pumpkin spice pancakes for breakfast?
For a healthier twist, I swap in whole wheat flour and add a bit of Greek yogurt or almond milk.
Also, reduce the sugar by using maple syrup or honey instead of white sugar. These little tricks keep them tasty without being too indulgent. π―

How do I incorporate oats into my pumpkin spice pancake recipe for added texture?
