FAQ’s for pumpkin Pancakes-

  • FREEZE– You can freeze the pancakes in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight and reheat in the oven or skillet before serving.
  • MAKE AHEAD– I wouldn’t recommend making the batter ahead of time. Pancake batter works best if cooked right away.
  • STORING– Keep leftover pancakes tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to 3 days.
