Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a delicious and hearty breakfast that’s perfect for a festive fall morning! Soft pancakes are made even more moist with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice flavoring. Oats make these more filling and healthy pumpkin pancakes—and the chocolate chips are for fun, of course. Keep this recipe for Halloween morning, autumn brunch, or Thanksgiving breakfast!
Somebody take the pumpkin from me. If you are a pumpkin hater, then I apologize. I’ve been posting far too many pumpkin recipes for September. They just so happen to be my most popular recipes lately though (that and all the soups I have posted), so give the people what they love I guess. Plus I seriously love pumpkin everything. These pancakes are definitely no exception!

Remember these Pumpkin Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies I posted about a month ago? Well, those delicious cookies have quickly become one of my most popular recipes and they are my new favorite fall cookie. I love that they taste just like a traditional pumpkin chocolate chip cookie but they have a little more texture thanks to the oats. Since I’ve already made those cookies three times, I decided to switch things up a little and make them in pancake form with basically the same ingredients.
Breakfast just got a whole lot more exciting! Cookie turned pancake? I’m in for sure! You’ll love these soft and fluffy pancakes. I mean how could you not? They are pumpkin flavored, cookie inspired and they’re loaded with chocolate chips. Plus it’s nice for a change to have a little texture in those morning pancakes, thanks to the oats. You could switch to oat flour if you want these to be a gluten-free variation, and try almond milk or coconut oil for dairy-free and vegan friends. But the buttermilk is key for the pancake batter, so I definitely recommend sticking to it for these pumpkin oatmeal pancakes.
Use the amount of pumpkin pie spice that you prefer, and get creative with your toppings for a tasty stack of pancakes! Pecans, blueberries, walnuts, melted butter, chia seeds, nut butter, or apples!
Enjoy!
