Ingredients
the pancakes
- 4 eggs
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt
- ½ cup pumpkin purée not pie filling
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup up to ¾ cup if skipping the crumb topping
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
crumb topping
- 2 tablespoon cold butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease 4 round or rectangular glass meal prep containers.
- Whisk or blend the 4 eggs, 1.5 cups Greek yogurt, ½ cup pumpkin purée, 1 cup milk, ¼ cup maple syrup, 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ½ tsp salt together until completely uniform, some streaks of flour are fine.
- Pour into the prepared container.
- For the crumb topping, rub the 2 tbsp cold butter into the ¼ cup flour, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp salt with your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs. Scatter over the top, don't press it in.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until a knife in the center comes out clean. The edges set before the middle does, so check the center.
- Cool before storing or enjoy right away with pepitas or maple syrup.

Notes
The maple and the crumb work together. At ¼ cup maple you want the crumb topping, it's designed to not be overly sweet. Skipping the crumb? Go up to ¾ cup maple in the batter instead (very sweet!). Adjust to your liking!
Pure pumpkin, not pie filling. Pie filling is already sweetened and spiced.
Cold butter for the crumb. Warm butter makes paste instead of crumbs.
Dish depth changes the bake time. A narrower, deeper container takes longer than a wide shallow one.
Storage. Fridge up to 5 days with the lid on or freeze up to 3 months (not in a glass container!). Reheat 60 seconds in the microwave.
Nutrition is calculated with the crumb topping and ¼ cup maple syrup.
