I hope you guys are not getting tired of all my fall pumpkin recipes on here. I know a lot of people don't like pumpkin because it can be so overdone in the fall. Honestly, I am not much of a pumpkin spice person myself, but I enjoy having a seasonal treat here and there.

After making my thanksgiving pumpkin pie, I had some leftover pumpkin puree. I, of course, didn't want it to go to waste, so I thought maybe it might taste good in my sourdough pancakes. Why not? So this can be a good recipe for when you have leftover pumpkin puree like me.

This recipe is similar to my regular sourdough pancake recipe, but with a few little adjustments to make it more fall ready. This results in a light pumpkin flavor that isn't too overpowering. This recipe does not have as much of a pumpkin flavor as pumpkin pie, but it is sweet with a slight sour flavor.

Ingredients You Will Need:

1.5 cups pumpkin puree

2.5 cups sourdough starter (I use einkorn)

¼ cup melted butter

2 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

1-2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (adjust to taste)

¼ cup honey (optional, if you want the pancakes more sweet)

Sourdough pancakes made with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice.

How to Make Sourdough Pumpkin Pancakes:

Preheat your skillet on the stove on medium heat. It should be hot enough where the pancake batter should sizzle when you go to pour it into the pan.

Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl or mixer and mix until combined.

Once the skillet is hot, spoon the batter onto the pan (using several tablespoons per pancake).

Allow the pancake to cook for several minutes on each side. You can flip the pancake once you see the edges cook slightly (be patient!).

Repeat the previous two steps until you have used all your batter.

Serve your pancakes with maple syrup, butter, and a little bit of cinnamon, if desired.
