Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving:
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Additional pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, 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 bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir 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 cooking spray or a small amount of 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 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6: Serve
Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice if desired.
Enjoy!
These pumpkin spice pancakes are perfect for a fall morning or any time you crave a taste of autumn. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
