How to make baked pumpkin pancakes
The exact ingredients with measurements can be found in the recipe card below along with more concise abbreviated instructions. Read on for more details, tips, and tricks so that you will feel confident making this recipe.
Step one: Preheat and prepare
Preheat the oven to 350° and prepare the sheet pan. This recipe works best in a standard half-size sheet pan which measures about 12.9″ x 17.9. Any baking sheet around 12×18 should work fine though.
You could even use a 9×13 cake pan if that is all you have. Be aware though that the cooking time will be longer or it will be doughy inside.
Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside while you are mixing the pumpkin pancake batter.
Step two: The dry ingredients
In a medium bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, powdered ginger, and cloves. Blend well so that no chunks of spices remain. It’s important that the dry ingredients be well mixed before adding the wet ingredients so that you don’t overmix and overdevelop the gluten.
Instead of the ground cinnamon, ginger and cloves, you can also use an equal amount of your favorite pumpkin pie spice if you prefer OR you can make your own homemade pumpkin pie spice.
Step Three: The wet ingredients
In a (separate) large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until nice and smooth. You will be adding in the oat milk in the next step with the flour mixture.
Step Four: Putting the vegan pumpkin pancakes mixture all together
First, add one-third cup of the oat milk to the pumpkin mixture, whisking till smooth. Next, fold in half of the flour mixture with a spatula, then alternate with one-third cup of milk, the rest of the flour, and ending with the oat milk.
Only fold till the ingredients have been incorporated. Don’t overmix or you risk overdeveloping the gluten (and having tough pancakes).
Final step: Baking the sheet pan pancakes
Pour the pancake batter into a prepared baking sheet or sheet pan. Spread the batter to the edges until nice and even and level.
Bake the vegan pancakes for 25-30 minutes until nice and golden brown and the pancakes spring back with lightly touched.
Serving suggestions
Cut the sheet pan pumpkin pancakes into 12 equal squares. Three pancake squares make one serving, so you will get four full servings out of this recipe.
Top with a little vegan butter, warm maple syrup, or coconut date syrup for a tasty seasonal breakfast dish.

- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups oat milk or plant milk of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. I also spritz the parchment paper with cooking spray for good measure.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Blend well so that no chunks of seasoning remain.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until nice and smooth.
- Add approximately one-third of the oat milk, whisking till smooth. Fold in half of the flour mixture with a spatula, then alternate with one-third of milk, the rest of the flour, and ending with the oat milk. Only fold till the ingredients have been incorporated. Don't overmix or you risk overdeveloping the gluten (and having tough pancakes).
- Pour the pancake batter into a prepared baking sheet or sheet pan. Spread the batter to the edges until nice and even and level.
- Bake for 25 -28 minutes until the pancakes spring back with lightly touched. If you use a 9×13 baking pan then your pancakes will be a little bit thicker and will require longer baking.
- Serve right away with vegan butter and warm maple syrup.
It seriously looks so good, and I love anything pumpkin. I’m going to try this, as well as different versions with almond and coconut flour. All your recipes look so good, I’m just wanting to try them all.
