One of my daughter’s favorite Trader Joe’s buys is a bag of dried berries. (This likely correlates to another passion of hers, Starbucks, and the dried strawberry slices swimming in their “Refreshers.”) At home, these berries won’t find their way into a drink or a baked good; they’re simply a snack.
But after listening to Julia Sherman on our podcast, Play Me a Recipe, I discovered a new, more interesting vehicle for dried berries: Pancakes.

These pumpkin spice pancakes are fluffy and cozy-spiced! Whip up a batch as a tasty and easy breakfast idea.
Fall calls for all the pumpkin breakfast recipes, and here’s one to add to the regular rotation: pumpkin spice pancakes! These fluffy, tender flapjacks are perfectly spiced with cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Top with maple syrup and a melty pad of butter, and there’s nothing better for a cool morning! If you’ve got a jar of pumpkin spice, this is one of our top ways to use it.
This pumpkin spice pancakes recipe is optimized for that jar of pumpkin spices in your spice rack or cabinet: but you can also make your own DIY pumpkin pie spice! You’ll just need those key cozy spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves. Other than that, pumpkin pancakes require the typical cast of fall characters, plus pumpkin puree! Here’s what you’ll need:
When it comes to ingredients, you’ll notice that pumpkin spice pancakes require both pumpkin pie spices and cinnamon! In the many pumpkin recipes we’ve developed, we’ve noticed that for the best “pumpkin” flavor, it’s essential to have both.
Cinnamon brings in the sweet notes, and pumpkin spices bring in the spicy, cozy and more bitter elements. The combination of the two makes the best balanced flavor. We also use this trick in our pumpkin bars and pumpkin dip.
Pumpkin spice pancakes are quick and simple: mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, then fry until golden brown! Here are a few tips for the process:
Why not add a few mix-ins to pumpkin pancakes? Here are a few ideas for mixing into the batter to step up these pancakes or ideas for toppings:

This ricotta pancakes recipe is light and fluffy: perfect for weekend breakfasts! Adding cheese makes the best texture for pancakes.
There are so many ways to make a pancake, and we’ve tried almost every which way: like classic, buttermilk, blueberry, almond flour, oatmeal, and banana pancakes. But at the very top in our favorite methods for this tasty breakfast are Ricotta Pancakes! Adding ricotta cheese to pancakes makes a lusciously fluffy texture and rich flavor. It also packs the breakfast cake with protein, making them more filling than the standard flapjack. Taste it once and you won’t want to go back!
Ricotta cheese is a creamy Italian cheese with a mild flavor. It’s most famously used in lasagna recipes: but add it to pancakes and it makes them extra fluffy! This ricotta pancakes recipe is simple, and the only special ingredient you need is the cheese. Everything else you likely already have on hand in your pantry and fridge. Here’s what you’ll need for ricotta pancakes:
Want to mix it up? Try our Lemon Ricotta Pancakes for a tangy spin on the classic. Adding lemon zest is a natural way to heighten the flavors and bring a citrusy brightness to the dish.
Ricotta cheese makes an impossibly fluffy, delightful texture to a pancake. At the same time, it adds a significant boost of protein. This makes these flapjacks much more satisfying than a classic pancake, and helps them keep you full for hours. Here’s a comparison of the protein levels in ricotta pancakes vs the standard all-purpose flour flapjack:
Cooking ricotta pancakes is similar to the traditional flapjack method. But keep in mind, the texture is slightly different because of the eggs and cheese. Here’s what to note when cooking:
This ricotta pancakes recipe is so light and fluffy, you barely need any toppings to make it taste good! Just a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar are perfect. However, if you’d like to get fancier, you can dress up your ricotta pancakes: and it’s fun to bring in seasonal elements! Here are a few ideas:
And that’s it! Let us know what you think of this recipe in the comments below. It’s one of our favorite ways to enjoy a lazy morning breakfast.

These classic blueberry pancakes are fluffy and golden brown, with pops of sweet tart berries. The best way to wake up!
Got a load of beautiful berries? Let’s make Blueberry Pancakes! There’s nothing better than the scent of frying up golden batter on a weekend morning (right?). Here’s how to make your morning dreams happen. This blueberry pancake recipe is classic and basic, using ingredients you probably already have on hand. It makes flapjacks that are light and fluffy, with just the right classic flavor interrupted by tangy pops of purple berries. In a word: they’re perfection.
This blueberry pancakes recipe is based on our classic pancake recipe, which we developed after a lot of testing and research. (We will say, it made for a tasty few weeks!) What we found? Here’s the combination of ingredients that make very best blueberry pancakes:
If there’s one thing about blueberry pancakes to know, it’s this: when to add the berries to the batter. How do you get the most even blueberry distribution? Place the berries right onto the batter while it’s cooking on the griddle. Why? If you place the berries into the bowl of batter, it makes lumpy pancakes and uneven berry distribution. Placing them right on top, you get even circular pancakes with just the right amount of fruit in each.
There’s just one thing to note: when you add the berries while the cakes are on the griddle, the “top” side of the pancake won’t really show much of the berries visually. And that’s ok! You can see them when you slice through the middle.
Once you’ve got the berry method sorted, there’s not much to cooking blueberry pancakes! They’re similar to any standard pancake recipe you’ve made. Here are a few best practices for getting them evenly golden brown:
Once you’ve tried the standard, there are several ways to vary these blueberry pancakes. Here are a few fun adders and alternate methods to try:

I once binge-read a murder mystery novel titled In My Dreams, I Hold a Knife in which a group of friends gather for their 10-year college reunion and attempt to uncover the truth about their friend’s murder during her senior year. In my dreams, I too hold a knife—a butter knife— which I use to slice a stack of pancakes that tower as high as the Empire State Building. Maybe they’re all plain, maybe they’re alternating chocolate chip and banana pancakes, or because I’m dreaming, maybe they’re four dozen Pillsbury Unicorn pancakes. The mix-ins are less important than how they’re cooked—golden brown on both sides with a slightly pale equator and a fluffy, bubbly interior is preferable.
The batter matters, as does what you use to grease the pan, but above all, the griddle makes the difference. Does the griddle make it easy to flip the pancakes? Do they cook evenly, batch after batch? And after pools of batter and butter have been poured onto the griddle, is it easy to clean? With these factors in mind, we rounded up the best pancake griddles for better breakfasts.

A Big Little Recipe has the smallest-possible ingredient list and big everything else: flavor, creativity, wow factor. That means five ingredients or fewer—not including water, salt, black pepper, and certain fats (like oil and butter), since we're guessing you have those covered. This month, we’re sharing sneak peeks from the Big Little Recipes cookbook, all revving up to its release on October 26 (blasts airhorn, throws confetti in the air).
The hardest part about buttermilk pancakes is standing at the stove. Dolloping, waiting, flipping, waiting, again, again, again. The good news is: If you skip a few ingredients, you can also skip this step.
