Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown 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 milk (or milk alternative)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
-
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.
-
Preheat the Griddle:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. 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 on the other side, until golden brown.
-
Serve:
Remove the pancakes from the skillet 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.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter before cooking.
- These pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the toaster or microwave.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Enjoy your delicious pumpkin pancakes! Perfect for a fall morning or any time you crave a taste of autumn.
