How to make these pancakes:
These pancakes are super simple to make. For the full set of directions, make sure you scroll down to the recipe card below. Here is a brief overview:
- Warm a large non stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, pumpkin puree, juice, egg, and pumpkin pie spice (affiliate link).
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the apple butter, yogurt, and syrup. Set aside while you cook the pancakes.
- Spray the skillet with cooking spray and ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the grill.
- Cook until bubbles form int he batter and the underside is golden.
- Flip the pancake and cook until golden on both sides.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve with the yogurt syrup topping and fresh blueberries.
Recipe Note: You CAN make these with a regular pancake mix instead of a buckwheat pancake blend. But I highly encourage you to find a buckwheat pancake blend (I really like the Bob’s Red Mill Buckwheat Pancake Blend – affiliate link). The earthiness of the buckwheat really adds to the flavor of this recipe.
