Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for batter)
For Cooking
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and optional maple syrup until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Preheat Skillet or Griddle: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat, ensuring it is hot enough for cooking the pancakes evenly.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, watching for bubbles forming on the surface and edges beginning to set.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Serve the pumpkin pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon if desired.
Notes
- For extra fluffy pancakes, allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Enhance flavor by adding chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the batter.
