For those looking to switch things up, using all-purpose flour with added baking powder can work just as well. You might also replace the yogurt with buttermilk if you happen to have some on hand, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of sugar depending on your sweetness preference. If allergies are a concern, consider using a pumpkin substitute like applesauce and make sure to choose dairy-free yogurt and milk alternatives if needed.

Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes from Scratch Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups self raising flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 3/4 cup milk (low fat or full fat)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add 2 cups self raising flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon allspice. Whisk it all together to incorporate air.
- In a separate bowl, beat 3 eggs with a mixer until foamy, about 3 minutes. Then, add 1 cup plain yogurt, 3/4 cup milk, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Beat until everything is well mixed.
- Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and gently fold to combine without overmixing, which helps keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Heat a buttered pan over medium heat and spoon 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot surface. Cook until the edges start to look set, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 3 minutes, until golden brown.
