These delightful pumpkin pancakes are perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch. They are fluffy, flavorful, and infused with warm spices that will make your mornings feel special.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Preheat the Griddle
- While the batter is resting, preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
- Once the griddle is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Enjoy!
These fluffy pumpkin pancakes are sure to become a fall favorite. Enjoy them with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of yogurt for a delicious breakfast treat!
