Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Equipment
- 2 Mixing bowls
Ingredients
Dry ingredients bowl
- 1 cup all-purpose flour measured properly - see "notes"
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Wet ingredients bowl
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking the pancakes)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar light or dark
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir, then set aside.
- Combine the wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl and stir until well combined and any clumps of brown sugar have been smooshed.
- Pour the wet ingredients bowl into the dry ingredients bowl and stir until just combined - don't overmix.
- Heat your griddle or non-stick skillet to medium heat and melt your desired amount of butter on the pan. The butter will add flavor and texture to the pancakes.
- When the griddle/pan is nice and hot, ladle pancake batter onto the pan into 3-4" pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip over and cook another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown. Enjoy with maple syrup, extra butter, whipped cream, or chopped nuts!
Notes
- To proper measure flour, use the "spoon & level" method, by spooning flour into your measuring up until it's full, then leveling it off. This ensures you're not adding too much flour by compressing it in a measure cup while scooping it out.
- Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. The latter has spices already in it.
- I make these pancakes with oat milk and they turn out great!
- This recipe makes 10-12 pancakes if they are 3-4" in diameter.
