    Ingredients

    To make these pancake bites or pumpkin pancakes, I have used leftover pie filling. Based on the consistency of the filling, I have added all-purpose flour and, to make it fluffy, a pinch of baking soda. Simple 3-ingredient pancake!

    Step-by-step instructions

    Pancake batter

    • In a large bowl, add leftover pie filling (approximately 2 cups). 
    • Depending on the thickness of your pie filling, add flour. So start with ½ cup, and you may add up to ¾ cup. Add baking soda and mix well.

    How to cook mini pancake bites?

    • Heat a pan or griddle on medium-low heat and grease it with oil or butter if desired. You do not have to grease if using a nonstick griddle.
    • Using a tablespoon measure, add in tablespoon of batter, around 7 to 9, depending on the size of your pan. Cook the pancakes on one side for about a minute till they get light browned, and then flip on another side and cook for 30 to 45 seconds. 
    • Serve it with honey, maple syrup, almond butter, peanut butter, or any of your favorite toppings and enjoy.

    Tips

    • My pie filling was not too thick or thin. Depending on how thin your filling is, add flour and baking soda.
    • I generally use a nonstick skillet to cook pancakes. If you are using any other, make sure you grease the pan.
    •  To avoid your pancake getting dark brown or burnt, always cook it on medium-low flame, especially if you have added sugar.

    Pumpkin pancake variations

    • You can add nuts like walnuts, almonds, and pecans for additional crunch.
    • Add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
    • If serving for kids, add some chocolate chips.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I use pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling to make pancakes?

    Pumpkin puree contains only salt, while pumpkin pie filling contains all other flavorful spices that go while making a pie. So, if you want to add puree, make sure you make it flavorful with pumpkin spice.

    How do you serve pumpkin pancake bites?

    Serve it with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream or butter, or homemade apple butter for an extra dose of fall and holiday flavor.

    Can you freeze pumpkin pancakes?

    Once cooled completely, you can store them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster or skillet before serving.
