And making pancakes on a sheet pan is a game changer. Just pour, bake, cut and voila; you have yourself an amazing breakfast or brunch!

My Prize Pumpkin Pie is one of my fave foods in the world. I make it for almost every holiday meal. And it's the recipe my Mom used, as did my Grandma. I love it so much that I wanted to capture all those pumpkin pie flavors and transform them into a pancake. The recipe is from my first cookbook, which is over 100 years old. And since my pumpkin pie recipe calls for scalded milk, I also use it in these pancakes. Scalded milk is not something you see in many recipes now-a-days, but it does serve a purpose. (see explanation below)

🥘 Ingredients

For this pumpkin pie pancakes recipe, you'll need:

• milk
• brown sugar
• all-purpose flour
• baking soda
• baking powder
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• ginger (dried, not fresh)
• pumpkin purée (canned or fresh) *do NOT use pumpkin pie filling
• vegetable oil
• vanilla extract
• maple syrup (I use low sugar)
• eggs

📖Variations & Substitutions

• Spices: You can substitute 2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger
• Add-ins - you can chopped walnuts right into the mix or add chocolate chips
• Pumpkin - you can use real pumpkin or canned pumpkin
• Dairy-free - use a non-dairy milk (like oat milk, almond milk or soy milk)
• Sugar - you can substitute white sugar for brown sugar

💭Do you need to scald milk?

Well, technically no, you don't need to scald milk. But I recommend you do for this recipe! Scalding milk is something that was commonly done to kill off bacteria,  in the days before milk was actually pasteurized. Obviously,  if you're buying your milk from a grocery store, you don't need to worry about that. However, it's other purpose is making baked goods lighter and fluffier. It also extracts the best flavors from cinnamon and vanilla. Those are the reasons why I use scalded milk.  You can read more about why you should scald milk HERE if you are interested.

Scalding milk is easy and only takes a couple of minutes,  so don't be intimidated if you've never done it. Here is a great video showing you How to scald milk! Just be sure to let it cool before you add it to the pancake batter so it won't start cooking the eggs. It can be warm, just not HOT.

Pumpkin spice is the ultimate fall flavor and these Pumpkin Spice Pancakes will satisfy all your autumn flavor desires. They also make a great autumn breakfast or brunch or Thanksgiving weekend brunch! I love to add whipping cream, chopped walnuts and little more cinnamon and caramel sundae sauce to them. You can use sugar-free caramel sauce to keep the calories/points down if you wish (I just don't use artificial sweeteners, myself).

I love sheet pan pumpkin pancakes because they are a great shortcut way of making traditional pancakes,. There is no standing over a hot stove and flipping pancake after pancake, one at a time as you would with regular pancakes, while everyone else is already eating. Just pop them in the oven for a few minutes or make them ahead. These also freeze really well. And these pumpkin pie pancakes are ideal for a casual weekend breakfast, feeding a crowd or bringing along to a breakfast potluck!
