These Pumpkin Pancakes Are So Easy To Make Using Boxed Pancake Mix
The reason these pancakes are easy?? Well, because they are cheater pumpkin pancakes. That’s right. I cheated and used store bought pancake mix. My Mom has made these for years and I used to make my own from scratch. Actually, I used to make a whole lot of types of pancakes from scratch.
Then I went and had twins. Two adorable chunky demons who slobber and cry all the time. And when that happened, I bought a box of pancake mix. Sure, once the girls can entertain themselves for half a second I will get back to making pancakes from scratch…but until then, this gives Jorge & I our Sunday pancake fix in 10 minutes. Yahoo!
So while I was making these (and shoveling them into my face in between playing peek-a-boo), I thought you might actually want to know how to make easy pumpkin pancakes too. I mean, you are probably going to have a house full of family Thanksgiving morning. Who has the time to make real pancakes while also cooking a whole Thanksgiving meal??
Since I won’t talk to you before Thursday, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I will be spending mine with my family and then doing some Black Friday shopping (online — I’m not leaving my couch or fighting with the crazies). Mama needs a new TV! 😉

These were delicious I added just a little brown sugar to the mix because I wasn’t sure if my family would like it but they loved them! Thx
For gluten free I used kinnikinnick gf pancake/waffle mix, and added one egg and 1/4tsp baking powder – so fluffy and tasty!
for any spice lover out there who makes this, just add chopped up habanero or whatever hot pepper that you can handle to the mix for a jack-o-lantern edition .. the heat and edgy spices of capcaisin peppers can light up any pumpkin treat into a jack-o-lantern for the taste buds..
Instead if water use tea bewed from pumpkin flavored tea bags
Can’t wait to try these! Love Pumpkin!
My family loves pumpkin! thinking ill make these this weekend! LOVE your blog!!
Thank you for this! Every pumpkin pancake recipe I’ve read has been way more complicated. This is perfect!
which kinds of pancakes mix do I need? the original add milk and eggs or the add water only?
I used the add water only kind. 🙂
These pancakes look so fluffy and delicious.
the fact that you’re still blogging about things that you’re actually cooking in your kitchen while mothering twins is miraculous, in my world… i’m impressed, easy pancakes or no. for the rest of us with little people who are a little more independent, these would be there perfect start for thanksgiving day when we’re distracted with the rest of the day’s prep.
I need to be honest, while I love pumpkin and pancakes and all food related things really…I initially opened up this post hoping to see a photo of your little bundles! Lol! I’d click either way (love your blog) but they are a serious bonus! 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m all over boxed pancake mix! Totally understand being too busy to make your own mix in the morning. Love this quick recipe!

Easy, and totally yummy! Just love these!
