Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil for a dairy-free option)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin spice mix, salt, and brown sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, maple syrup, and melted butter. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a covered dish while cooking the remaining batter.
  8. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup and a sprinkle of extra pumpkin spice if desired.

💡 Chef's Notes

Garnish with whipped cream, crushed nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a delightful finishing touch.
