Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for cooking
- Maple syrup or your favorite syrup, for serving
Simple Steps to Pumpkin Pancake Perfection:
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: Start by whisking together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl. These fragrant spices are key to achieving that signature pumpkin spice flavor.
- Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. The pumpkin puree adds moisture and richness, ensuring your pancakes turn out fluffy and tender.
- Combine the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine—they’ll help create a light, airy texture when cooked.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter to grease the surface. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, cooking until bubbles appear on the surface before flipping to the other side. Cook until golden brown and deliciously fragrant.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Pumpkin Spice Pancakes warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup or your favorite topping. Each bite is like tasting the best of fall in pancake form!
