We do not recommend using pumpkin pie filling for this recipe.Tip: Do not overmix the batter. Only mix until the batter is just combined. Overmixing makes pancakes rubbery.Tip: Keep your skillet over medium heat. If your skillet gets too hot your pancakes will burn on the outside while staying raw on the inside.

Freeze: Store pancakes in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. We recommend putting small sheets of parchment paper between the pancakes before freezing. This way you can easily take out individual portions. Defrosting: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or for a couple of hours on the counter. Then reheat in the microwave or a toaster. Common Questions Is it possible to use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree? Unfortunately you cannot substitute pumpkin pie filling for the pumpkin puree. The pie filling already has spices and sugar added and would therefore add too much spice and sweetness to the pancakes. Moreover, other pie filling additives might cause the pancakes to not cook properly. What is pumpkin pie spice? Most popular pumpkin pie spice brands are a blend of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves and ground allspice. Pumpkin pie spice combines all your favorite fall dessert flavors into one spice mix. Can I keep these pancakes warm for late risers? Of course. Finish cooking pumpkin pancakes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep them in a 200ºF preheated oven until ready to serve. What kind of syrup tastes best with these pancakes? We love serving pancakes with pure maple syrup. Moreover, we recommend warming the maple syrup as it keeps the pancakes warm longer compared to syrup that comes straight out of the fridge. How can I store leftover canned pumpkin? A 15 oz can of pumpkin puree generally holds just shy of 2 cups. As you only need a ⅓ cup of pumpkin puree for this recipe, we recommend freezing leftovers in case you are not planning on using it right away. Take a look at your favorite pumpkin recipes and measure out leftover pumpkin puree according to needed amounts. Then freeze in freezer safe containers. Just pull out the frozen pumpkin puree the night before you are planning on using it and let thaw overnight. Can I make pumpkin pancakes using pancake mix? Yes!
