Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
½ cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the griddle
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. Do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
If your batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or two more milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
You can freeze leftover pancakes for a quick breakfast later. Place cooled pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
