Can I use canned pumpkin?

Absolutely! Just make sure it's 100% pure pumpkin puree - not pumpkin pie filling (that sweetened stuff will throw off all your measurements). I always keep a few cans in my pantry during fall for emergency pancake cravings!

Can I make them vegan?

You bet! Swap the egg for a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water, let sit 5 minutes), use plant-based milk, and sub the butter with coconut oil. They'll still be wonderfully fluffy - my vegan sister-in-law requests them every Thanksgiving!

Why are my pancakes dense?

Oh honey, you're probably overmixing! Stir the batter just until the flour disappears - lumps are totally fine. Also check that your baking powder is fresh (it loses potency after 6 months). My first batch ever turned out like hockey pucks until I learned this lesson!
