Pumpkin Spice Pancakes: A Fall Morning Ritual

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes: A Fall Morning Ritual

Sep 25, 2025

Fall mornings are meant for slowing down, savoring the season, and enjoying little luxuries that make home feel warm and inviting. At Dorai, we believe in everyday rituals that combine function and beauty—whether that’s flipping pancakes on a crisp morning, keeping your counters fresh with our quick-drying Dish Pad, or sipping a seasonal drink from a glass resting on a stylish Dorai Coaster.

Today, we’re sharing a favorite fall recipe: Pumpkin Spice Pancakes. They’re light, fluffy, and infused with cozy spices that taste like autumn on a plate. Pair them with a spiced chai latte or hot apple cider, and you’ve got the perfect seasonal ritual.

 

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix (we used Trader Joe’s Buttermilk Pancake Mix)

  • 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)

  • ½ cup pumpkin puree

  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg

Toppings

  • Whipped cream

  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Blend liquids: Add milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg to a blender. Blend for 10–20 seconds until smooth.

  2. Add dry ingredients: Add pancake mix and pumpkin pie spice on top of the blended liquids.

  3. Mix gently: Pulse or blend on low for 5–10 seconds, just until the batter comes together. Avoid over-blending.

  4. Cook the pancakes:

    • Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.

    • Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake directly from the blender.

    • Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.

  5. Serve: Stack pancakes high, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with whipped cream for the full fall effect.

The Perfect Pairing

After the dishes are done (made easier with the Dorai Dish Pad, which dries fast and keeps your kitchen fresh), it’s time to treat yourself. We recommend pairing these pumpkin spice pancakes with a warm mug of chai tea latte or spiced apple cider. Both drinks highlight the cozy, spiced flavors of fall and feel even more special when served on our stone-based Dorai Coasters—designed to keep tables dry and stylish.

Fall Made Simple

At Dorai Home, we’re passionate about turning everyday tasks into enjoyable rituals. Cooking breakfast becomes a joy when cleanup is quick and easy with the Dish Pad, and your morning coffee (or cider!) feels like a luxury when set on a Coaster that protects and elevates your space.
