🧾 Ingredients & Easy Substitutes
Here is a quick list of ingredients to make these cozy Pumpkin pie spice pancakes, along with some simple swaps in case you’re missing anything in your pantry:
Dry Ingredients
All-Purpose Flour or Maida – This gives the pancakes a soft, fluffy texture. You can replace this with whole wheat flour for a more wholesome version (though the pancakes will be slightly denser).
A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend can also work if you’re avoiding gluten.
Self raising flour can be used if you have that available. in that case you can avoid adding baking soda as self raising flour already contains it.
Sugar/ Sweetener – Regular white sugar adds mild sweetness and balances the spices in this pancake recipe. I love using brown sugar for a deeper flavor. You can also use organic coconut sugar , or jaggery powder (shakkar) for a more natural option.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend – This warming spice mix is the main ingredient of the recipe. Use your homemade blend of pumpkin spice mix for maximum freshness or store bought pumpkin pie spice mix. If nothing is readily available just use cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg for a simplified version.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda – These leavening agents make the pancakes fluffy and light. Make sure both are fresh and active. You can test it by dropping a pinch of baking soda into vinegar—it should fizz.
Kosher Salt/ salt – A pinch of salt helps enhance the sweetness and spice.
Wet Ingredients
Pumpkin Purée – Use canned 100% pumpkin purée or homemade pumpkin purée. Avoid using canned pumpkin pie filling, as it contains added sugar and spices. If you don’t have pumpkin on hand, cooked and mashed sweet potato or butternut squash are great alternatives.
Milk – Regular milk works well, but you can easily substitute it with almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk for a dairy-free or vegan version.
Vinegar or Lemon Juice – This acts as an egg replacer by reacting with baking soda to create light, airy pancakes. Apple cider vinegar works best, but white vinegar or lemon juice will also do the job.
Vanilla Extract – Adds a warm, aromatic depth to the pancakes.
Oil or Melted Butter – Fat keeps the pancakes soft and moist. Use neutral oils like sunflower, or vegetable oil. Olive oil will also do. Melted coconut oil or vegan butter also work well.
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add in the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and oil or butter.
Gently mix everything until combined well. Do not overmix—the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy. If you feel the batter is too thick add some more milk to adjust.
Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter. Scoop ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on top. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
