    These 2 ingredient pumpkin pancakes are super easy to make, gluten-free, and requires no flour, oil, or refined sugar! A simple and healthy breakfast recipe for the fall season! 

    2 ingredient pumpkin pancakes with syrup pour

    This post was originally published in 2018, but has since been updated.

    "No weekend is complete until pancakes are served"

    - Me

    Seriously though. What is it about pancakes on a Sunday morning that makes them taste exponentially better? I know from firsthand experience that weekend pancakes taste far superior than Thursday morning pancakes. Further research needs to be conducted on why though.

    Now before we get started, YES I know there are more than 2 ingredients listed here, but besides the pumpkin and egg, they are optional. Highly suggested, but still optional. Kapeesh?

    What makes these 2 ingredient pumpkin pancakes delicious and healthy

    • pumpkin puree
    • eggs
    • vanilla (optional)
    • pumpkin pie spice (optional)
    • cinnamon (optional)
    • maple syrup (optional)

    How to make these 2 ingredient pumpkin pancakes:

    In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of pumpkin puree with 3 eggs, and optional teaspoon of vanilla, teaspoon of cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and teaspoon of maple syrup if using.

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with non-stick spray. Add batter a ¼ cup at a time, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Repeat until all batter is used, and top with extra syrup and cinnamon if desired.

    Pro Tips

    • They are not light and fluffy. These pancakes are dense. Pumpkin has a high water content, which makes these a bit more moist and dense than regular pancakes.
    • They don't need a lot of syrup. Because they're moist AF, extra syrup isn't really required, especially if you add the syrup to the batter. A little extra cinnamon on top is my favorite way to eat them.
    • Let them cook enough. Since they're a bit more dense, flipping can be a challenge if they're not cooked enough. Let them get nice and brown first before attempting to flip. Only cooking a couple at a time, or making smaller sized pancakes definitely helps the process.

    FAQs

    Can I make these vegan?

    I've never tried making these without eggs, but would imagine they would not hold their shape as much if flax/chia eggs were used instead. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

    How many pancakes does it make?

    Depending on the size pancake you make, this recipe will make 4-6 smaller pancakes, or 2 larger pancakes.

    How long can I keep them for?

    These pancakes are a bit more dense and wet than traditional pancakes, so I wouldn't keep them in the refrigerator for more than 3-4 days.

    Can I freeze them?

    Due to their high moisture content, freezing is not recommended.

    Money-Saving Tips for this Pumpkin Pancake Recipe:

    • Use store brands. Utilize store brands for items like spices, and pumpkin puree for a cost-effective option, that doesn't sacrifice flavor or quality.
    • Buy in bulk. Purchase items you use regularly in bulk, such as eggs, spices, or vanilla. These options tend to be more cost-effective than smaller packages.

      It is so true that thursday morning pancakes just don't taste nearly as good as weekend morning pancakes! These look fantastic, love all your tips for making them too. Going to have to give them a try!

      How can you make this lower carb? Can you use egg whites instead of eggs. I know that will lower the healthy fat. What’s making the carb high?

        The maple syrup, I’d guess is making the carb count higher.

        It could be made lower carb by using ChocZero maple syrup.

      What can you replace the maple syrup with? I have to use 100% stevia for sugars.

        You can substitute with stevia. This will not alter the texture.

      Might be best for people who need gluten free, but not my fave as a non-gluten free person. If you’re okay with flour maybe skip this recipe. Will save for guests who have gluten intolerance though

      In your video, it looks like you only used 2 eggs but it calls for 3. Can you please confirm the number of eggs needed?

      Thanks!
