Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup for serving
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)
  • Toasted pumpkin seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
  5. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden.
  6. As you cook the pancakes, place them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with whipped cream and toasted pumpkin seeds if desired.
