today, i’m participating in a fun blogger event — the secret recipe club. how does it work? every blogger is secretly assigned another blog + chooses a recipe from that blog to make. on reveal day (today!), all of our posts go up at the same time, + everyone gets to see who was assigned to their blog, which recipe they chose, + how it turned out. fun, huh?
this month, i was assigned a healthy jalapeño, a wonderful blog full of amazing recipes, many of which are lightened-up, healthier versions of traditional comfort food recipes. i was struggling to decide which recipe to make (there are so many good ones to choose from!) until i stumbled across her pumpkin spice pancakes. not only did they look + sound scrumptious, but with the first official day of fall this past weekend, it was the perfect time to make a quintessentially autumn recipe.
so, how did they turn out? SO amazingly delicious. they’re wonderfully light + fluffy, + beautifully showcase the rich, pumpkiny, spiced flavors that i associate with fall. i had them for breakfast on friday + they were so tasty that i just had to make them again the next morning so my husband could try them, too. there’s no rule against eating pancakes two days in a row, is there? =) topped with a generous pat of butter + a liberal pour of maple syrup, these make for a delightful fall breakfast.
thank you to laura for introducing me to these fabulous pancakes, + to the secret recipe club for connecting me with fantastic bloggers + amazing recipes!

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Makes 12 pancakes, adapted from Epicurious, as seen on A Healthy Jalapeño
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups whole milk
3/4 cup canned pure pumpkin
4 large eggs, separated into whites and yolks
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extractcanola oil spray for cooking
butter + maple syrup for servingDirections
Whisk the first 5 ingredients (all dry ingredients) in a large bowl to blend. Whisk milk, pumpkin, egg yolks, melted butter + vanilla (all wet ingredients) in a separate medium bowl to blend well. Add liquid pumpkin mixture to dry ingredients; whisk just until smooth (batter will be thick).
Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in another medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into batter in 2 additions.
Spray a large nonstick skillet with canola oil; heat over medium heat. Working in batches, pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls into skillet. Cook until bubbles form on surface of pancakes + bottoms are brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying skillet with oil between batches. Serve hot with butter + syrup.

Yum – I love pumpkin spiced everything in the fall. I’ll have to make a vegan/gluten-free version of these.
There is never a rule against eating pancakes multiple days in a row! It just increases the happiness factor exponentially.
Phew, that’s good to know because i ate them *yet again* this morning! =)
Had to be at work early this morning and skipped breakfast. I think I am having breakfast for lunch, these pancakes look incredible!
I can’t wait to try these! Yum!
Aww, why do I have to work tomorrow morning?! This stinks. I could make them for lunch. I suppose that’s not such a tragedy. Or maybe I’ll try to make my own version with cottage cheese in them. That stuff is SO nasty but it does wonderful things to pancakes.
These look super! A+ round pancake making skills.
Ooh, i’m intrigued by this cottage-cheese-in-pancakes business. hope you post about that soon! and thanks for the props on the round pancakes!
These Pumpkin Spice Pancakes look yummy! A perfect any day breakfast.
Oh man, pancakes are my kryptonite! You know I’ll be in my kitchen making these before long
They look amazing!
I’m with Tracey on this one, these are definitely my kryptonite too! So glad we’re on the same wavelength with these pumpkin recipes today
I agree with Tara, the more pancakes the better! Great pick for this months SRC. I love Laura’s blog!
Hey, how’d you get your pancakes so uniformly round? No fair–mine always end up some obscure geometric shape which is why I leave it to my husband to cook pancakes. I’ll be mixing him up a batch of these to make soon!
Ha, I’m not sure how they wound up so perfectly round! Honestly, I didn’t have to do anything special – they just turned out round on their own. I love it when that happens. =) Hope you + your husband love these when you try ’em!
Oh my gosh. I need these…like..now!!! I love how there are so many pumpkin recipes in today’s reveal. This is a must-try for me because I’m obsessed with both pumpkin and pancakes!
Those are such pretty pancakes – seriously!!
Yes,please. Right now. With a pumpkin latte from Starbucks.
I have been craving pumpkin pancakes. I hope that I have time to make them soon!
They look beautiful and picture perfect! I’m betting yummy, too! 😉
They do look amazing! I also loved your touch of adding your previous participation in the SRC, I might ‘steal’ that idea… 😉
Great post, happy beginning of Fall for you!
Steal away, Sally – i don’t mind at all! =)
Loving these pancakes my friend, that is one very delicious tower! 😀
Cheers

Y-u-u-u-um! I’m so glad it’s that time of year for pumpkin in all my food!
Wow, your pancakes look perfect! I can’t seem to make more than 2 or 3 pretty ones. . just like when I make crepes. . the rest of them just look horrible! What’s your secret?
No secret! The batter was just really easy to pour into a perfect circle – not sure why exactly, but I’ll take it! =)
Oh, yum! I made pancakes this weekend, myself, but not pumpkin spice! Just plain ol’ buttermilk. I’m coming to your house next weekend.
I get so excited for pumpkin spice pancakes when fall rolls around!
Those are the most gorgeously perfect pancakes I have ever seen! I just LOVE pumpkin pancakes…wait, I LOVE any kind of pancakes!
I’m so glad it is fall so I can eat pumpkin flavored everything! I can’t wait for the weekend so I can give these a try. Thanks for sharing
What a perfect way to start a fall day!
Okay, these turned out just perfect! I am a HUGE pancake fan, and I’ve been wanting to try a pumpkin version! I think these just made my Saturday morning breakfast menu–YUM!
These look like such perfect pancakes! The fact that they are pumpkin is an added bonus!
Oh, yum! Your pancakes look so perfect! I adore pumpkin spice everything – especially pancakes.
SRC sounds SO fun!! What a great way to get gals together and bring older recipes back to life. Pumpkin pancakes… a fine choice if I do say so myself!!! Man I don’t think i’ve gone a day without eating SOMETHING pumpkin in a few weeks!
The SRC is a blast! I have met so many amazing bloggers + recipes through it + look forward to it every month. =)
Um, can I invite you over to teach me how to make such gorgeous, perfect pancakes?! Wow, these look and sound amazing! Great job and a perfect choice for fall!
I’ll definitely come over + give you pancake lessons if you give me some of your delicious lasagna soup in return! =)
These look delicious! I love pumpkin pancakes!
Wonderful fall breakfast! Love the pics as usual
Great SRC pick!
Mmm…what better way to start a day than pancake breakfast? And what better way to start fall than awesome pumpkin recipes? These look soo delish and perfect for the season.
Amy those are some really gorgeous looking pancakes – not to mention that they sound really good! I think I just might have to whip up a batch of these for a Fall inspired Saturday or Sunday morning breakfast!
What a perfect fall breakfast; I just love light & fluffy pancakes!
It’s definitely pumpkin season! I’ve been thinking of trying to make gluten-free pumpkin pancakes so you’ve just given me that extra kick.
These are picture perfect! They’re going to end up being dinner one night very soon!
Great fall pick for the SRC!
Oh my goodness … I love anything with pumpkin so these look amazing. Too bad, I’m horrible with pancakes so I know I would mess this one up … I’ll just sit here and stare at yours
UM, HOLY SHIZZ. my face. i need these.
These look amazing! There’s nothing I love better than pumpkin spice pancakes & apples in the fall.
Pumpkin and spice totally says fall to me too! I love how light and fluffy these pancakes look…nothing wrong with eating pancakes this good 2 days in a row:-)
I love pancakes! And these sound wonderful for a chilly fall day.
I just had regular pancakes for dinner tonight to help clear out room in the freezer for more fall-appropriate breakfast foods! It was meant to be, I tell ya! I have a tried-and-true pumpkin waffle recipe but nothing for pancakes! Can’t wait to try these!
