Mini Pumpkin Pancakes or Pumpkin Pancake Bites prepared using leftover pumpkin pie filling are thick, lightly sweet and fluffy bites with beautiful color from the pumpkin making it perfect treat for everyone!
I am sure you bake pumpkin pie atleast once during the Fall season specially for Thanksgiving dinner. But what about those leftover pie filling? Don't let it go waste. There are endless options from muffins to pudding, pancake, bread, cake, dip, scone... I can go on.
But if you are still wondering on what to do with leftover pumpkin pie filling then you should definitely start and make these easy and delicious pancake bites. An ideal and simple breakfast recipe for your family and friends on Thanksgiving and Christmas morning.
I prepared Pumpkin pie with streusel topping for my husbands office team outing and I had pumpkin pie filling leftover. This time I ended up preparing these bites for breakfast the next day. My pie filling was not too thick or thin. Depending on how thin your filling is, add flour and baking soda. Yes, only 3 ingredients and ready in less than 25 minutes. This is truly a treat!!
With my lil one at home who wants to taste everything from his mamas plate and with ease of eating these bite sized pancakes instead of having to cut the stack of larger pancakes my family is totally in love with these. Even picky eaters are going to love these bites. Plus, its easier to flip, lesser time to cook than the larger pancakes and no mess. I have started preparing more pancake bites at home and with different shapes 🙂
You can serve pancake as it is or drizzle some honey or maple syrup, a dollop of butter, nutella or any nut butter of your choice.
Few tips from my end to get the pancakes right :
- I generally use nonstick griddle to cook pancakes. If you are using any other, make sure you grease the pan.
- To avoid your pancake from getting dark brown or burnt, always cook it on medium-low flame specially if you have added sugar.
