I usually save pancakes for the weekend. I’m not sure why, I guess they just have a stigma of being time-consuming and not meant for weekday mornings. I took it upon myself to bust this myth and make these pumpkin pancakes on one of my busy mornings. Instead of waiting for the weekend, I made these pancakes on a Thursday morning during a Zoom meeting and they couldn’t have been easier! All you need is a blender and pan, then you’re set. You’ll be making these pumpkin pancakes every day!

How to Make These Pancakes

As I mentioned earlier, all you need is a blender and you’re set! I’ll link the magic bullet I use, here. Since this recipe is single-serve, you can use a small blender, or you can make a bigger batch for a crowd.

Once you have all the ingredients ready, you just toss them in the blender (except for the chocolate chips), mix it up and you’re ready to cook them! This batter makes 3 small pancakes that are perfect to fit in one pan. Just cook them over medium heat until they’re browned and fragrant! Simple as that.

Toppings

These pumpkin pancakes are extremely versatile in what you can use for toppings. I used creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, and a side of fresh berries.

Some other toppings that would be delicious are caramelized apples or bananas, chopped pecans, butter, Nutella, greek yogurt, whipped cream, or ice cream.

You may just need to make them more than once so that you can try all of those amazing toppings!
