Pumpkin Buttermilk Pancakes

These pumpkin buttermilk pancakes are the traditional fluffy buttermilk pancakes with a hint of pumpkin and spice flavor. The base mix is the same as the regular buttermilk pancake recipe but I’ve streamlined the assembly to make these quicker and easier to make.

Breakfast is the bane of my existence. Oh wait I think I’ve said that about dishes but breakfast isn’t far behind. It’s not that I don’t realize how important breakfast is or that I don’t like breakfast foods. I’m not a morning person. At all. Asking me to cooking a full meal not long after I wake up is not my idea of a fun time.

Which is why most of my breakfast recipes are easy, freezable or have most of the prep work done the night ahead. Some examples of those are- caramel French toast bake, sausage breakfast bake,which are make ahead, French Toast, which is freezer friendly, and apple puff pancake which is both quick and easy.

Even my fancy breakfast recipes- ham and potato quiche and bacon, spinach and Swiss quiche can be mostly prepped ahead of time or oven ready in minutes

These pumpkin buttermilk pancakes would freeze really well if you have any extras. Just place the cold pancakes on a cookie sheet in the freezer for about half an hour and then place in a labeled freezer bag for up to three months. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds per pancake or until hot.
