Light and Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Description
These pumpkin spice pancakes start by whisking dry ingredients including flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to spread warm autumn flavors evenly. The wet ingredients—milk, canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix), melted butter, and lightly beaten egg—are combined separately to maintain moisture and richness.
Folding wet into dry ingredients just until blended leaves a slightly lumpy batter, which prevents toughness in the pancakes. Cooking each pancake in melted butter on medium heat forms golden, soft pancakes with delicate spice notes and moist interior from the pumpkin. Cooking time is about three minutes per side, allowing even browning.
This recipe produces tender, flavorful breakfast pancakes suited for fall or those who enjoy spiced baked goods. The batter's balance of sugar and spices complements the pumpkin without overpowering it. Serving immediately preserves their fluffy texture.
Ingredients
Dry
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar granulated white
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin not the pie filling, canned
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Instructions
Make the batter
- Whisk dry ingredients (flour, sugar, spices and salt) in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, pumpkin, melted butter and egg.
- Fold the wet into dry ingredients until just combined, don't overmix.
Cook the pancakes
- Melt a little butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Go bigger if you wish, but know it will take longer.
- Cook pancakes about 3 minutes per side.
- Devour.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine to maintain pancake tenderness.
