Ingredients for Pumpkin Pancakes from Gilmore Girls

Making pumpkin pancakes is a perfect way to bring the cozy flavors of fall to your breakfast table.

• Almond flour
• Oat flour
• Pumpkin pie spice
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Egg
• Pumpkin puree
• Buttermilk
• Unsalted butter
• Coconut sugar
• Vanilla extract

Making Pumpkin Pancakes Batter

If you’re a fan of Gilmore Girls, you know that Luke’s Diner is the ultimate cozy spot for a delicious breakfast in Stars Hollow. Inspired by the cozy fall vibes of the show, I’ve created these fluffy pumpkin pancakes that feel like something Luke would serve on a crisp autumn morning.

Prepare the Homemade Cinnamon Butter:

1. Combine butter, powdered sugar, cinnamon, honey and salt until smooth and set aside.

Prepare the Pumpkin Pancakes:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the egg, pumpkin puree, buttermilk, melted butter, coconut sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side for about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Serve warm with a dollop of cinnamon butter on top and add your favorite toppings like maple syrup, honey, or additional powdered sugar.

Tips for the best Pumpkin Pancakes

• Don’t overmix the batter: Stir gently to keep the pancakes light and fluffy. Overmixing can make them dense.
• Adjust the batter consistency: If your batter seems too thick, add a little extra milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. It should pour easily but not be runny.
• Low to medium heat is best: Cooking pancakes over medium heat prevents burning and ensures they cook evenly through the center.
