Fancy Navajo – Blue Corn Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

The Fancy Navajo

Fall is here which means it is time for everything PUMPKIN SPICE. One way I like to make my fall mornings more fancy is by making Fancy Blue Corn Pumpkin Pancakes. Not only are these pancakes a pretty blue color, but they also taste and smell just like fall. They are the perfect weekend breakfast treat!

If you have leftovers, you can also freeze/refrigerate these and warm them up throughout the week! I love popping them in the toaster for a fun midweek treat with my coffee or tea. But once you have had one, you may not have any leftover.

A few years back I released a recipe for Blue Corn Pumpkin Oat Pancakes that included oat flour which you can find here. I love that recipe, especially if you want to learn how to make your own oat flour. This recipe is a bit simpler to make using a classic pancake recipe. I hope you give them both a try.

If you make these please send me a picture. I would love to see and use the #TheFancyNavajo. If you don’t already follow me on Instagram and Facebook.

  1. One place to order blue corn products is Tocabe (I’m not affiliated, just a fan)– it’s a Native-owned company that sells Native foods, and they sell both Navajo Pride and Ute Mountain blue cornmeal. The Blue Corn mush already has juniper ash mixed in, which is nice.

    Thanks for sharing this, I can’t wait to try them!
