Ingredients
- 2 cups (260g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (54g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (52g) sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups (291g) canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, light brown sugar, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy, don’t overmix.
-
Heat the Griddle: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Variations: Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for a twist. Make a vegan version using flax eggs and plant-based milk.
- Storage/Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by microwaving or toasting.
