  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve warm with toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar. Add extras like honey or toasted pecans if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for better flavor and texture.
  • For vegan pancakes, substitute dairy milk with plant-based options and eggs with flaxseed or chia seed eggs.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
