Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes
Â
Can you believe we are half way in the month of September already?  In a few more days it will officially be fall and before you know it we will be getting  ready for the holidays.  Time just seems to fly by. Â
Â
I had extra pumpkin puree leftover after making my cute little Pumpkies last week that I wanted to use up, so over the weekend I incorporated it in to Sunday breakfast and created these delicious Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes.  I love whole wheat combined with pumpkin; I think it makes it taste richer. Â
Â
As I do with many of my recipes, I make extra to have ready for during the week.  In the morning, I just need to reheat to make a quick and delicious breakfast for the twins.  They loved these.  I serve these to them without any syrup so I don’t have little sticky fingers all over and these are moist and delicious plain or with a little butter.  These would be great with pure maple syrup or pecan syrup too.
Â
The perfect taste of fall! Â Enjoy!

I have a pumpkin pancake recipe I love already but never thought to add in whole wheat. Gotta try these!
Thank you! The pumpkin combined with the whole wheat makes it very tasty! If you try it let me know how you like it! 🙂
Scrumptious pumpkin pancakes are a marvelous start to autumn. My brother just sent me freshly ground whole wheat flour and this recipe is a perfect way to use my treasure!
this is perfect for this season! I can’t wait to try it out.
There is nothing better than freshly ground whole wheat flour; enjoy! 🙂
These really look amazing, Jennifer! Thank you so much for linking them up at Savvy HomeMade Monday. Pin!!!

Thank you so much Erin! I am truly honored!
Our new favorite recipe! My 2 year old has been asking for them almost every morning! 🙂 They freeze great too!
So happy to hear they are your new favorite recipe! Thanks for letting me know!
thanks so much for this recipe. I googled whole wheat pumpkin pancakes and came across your website. I was looking for a new healthy breakfast recipe for my 13 month old daughter. I made a batch of these tonight and they turned out wonderful. Thanks again!!
Hi Melissa! So happy you tried the recipe and liked them! My twins are 15 months and they love these too. I make a batch and freeze some and I have them to grab in a snap. These freeze really well. Glad you found this site!
Excellent recipe!!! I also made them with gluten free all purpose flour and my son could not stop eating them. Thank you!!!
Thank you Jen! So happy you enjoyed them!
I woke up craving pancakes (the last one I had was like 4 months ago) and found your awesome recipe. They’re really less carbageddon than classic one but without sacrificing the taste!
Thanks for sharing this!
Peace

I am wondering if I did something wrong. I tried to make these this morning and they batter was really thick. I used refrigerated pumpkin puree (leftover from a cookie recipe yesterday) and am wondering if that changed the consistency….the instructions say to pour desired amount of batter….my batter was certainly not pourable.
Thanks for your comment. The batter will be somewhat thick but you should be able to still pour it or ladle the batter onto the pan. It shouldn’t have been a problem using the pumpkin puree you used. If you try it again or have the batter still left, thin it out with additional milk. Hope that helps!
These were delicious! I didn’t use the butter or baking soda but they turned out fine. Great find!
Made these tonight…so good!
What do you think about using buttermilk instead of milk for this recipe? I love buttermilk pancakes and always substitute whole wheat flour for white, but I wonder if it will change a. the consistency and b. the taste too much. In the Joy of Cooking when they substitute buttermilk, they also change the amount of baking soda and baking powder in the recipe to compensate.
I have never tried it with buttermilk to honestly say. I love buttermilk pancakes as well, but I think for these they would be best without the buttermilk but it might be worth a try. 🙂
I love whole wheat pancakes and found this recipe looking for a Fall tasty morning cake. I did add walnuts and sprinkled with powdered sugar before serving. Love this recipe! Thanks for sharing it!
Hi Karen! So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
My (very picky) son and husband loved these, we froze a bunch for quick before school breakfasts (although on weekdays he gets them with peanut butter and raisins, no syrup!).
Hi Angela! I’m so happy to hear your family enjoyed these pancakes!
These pancakes are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I make them once a week! They are healthy but also so thick and delicious. They remind me of the multi grain pancakes from Village Inn which I looooove but could never recreate. Sometimes I add flax and chia seeds for some extra protein and nutrients. So delicious! Thank you for sharing! I never close out of the tab with this recipe because I use it so much. I almost have it memorized!!
Hi Crystal, Thanks so much for your comment! I am so happy you love these delicious pancakes. Your comment made my day! 🙂
This recipe was great! Delicious and filling. Thank you!
