How to make Pumpkin Greek Yogurt Pancakes
- Combine in a large mixing bowl, the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in the Greek yogurt, followed by the milk. Set aside.
- Mix together in a smaller mixing bowl, the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Add the bowl of dry ingredients into the large bowl of wet ingredients. Use a rubber spatula or a whisk to gently bring the ingredients together without overmixing. Batter will be a little lumpy, as long as there are no visible dry ingredients left.
- Heat up a griddle to 350F or a large non-stick frying pan to medium heat. Apply non-stick spray to the griddle or melt on some butter. Scoop up ½ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubble start to form and bottom is golden. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes or golden.
Storage
Store leftover Pumpkin Greek Yogurt Pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Separate each pancake with a small piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Reheat them in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen in the toaster or oven for a quick, cozy breakfast anytime.
