Ingredients

Dry ingredients bowl
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour measured properly - see "notes"
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
Wet ingredients bowl
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking the pancakes)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar light or dark

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir, then set aside.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl and stir until well combined and any clumps of brown sugar have been smooshed.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients bowl into the dry ingredients bowl and stir until just combined - don't overmix.
  4. Heat your griddle or non-stick skillet to medium heat and melt your desired amount of butter on the pan. The butter will add flavor and texture to the pancakes.
  5. When the griddle/pan is nice and hot, ladle pancake batter onto the pan into 3-4" pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip over and cook another 2-3 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown. Enjoy with maple syrup, extra butter, whipped cream, or chopped nuts!

Notes

  • To proper measure flour, use the "spoon & level" method, by spooning flour into your measuring up until it's full, then leveling it off.  This ensures you're not adding too much flour by compressing it in a measure cup while scooping it out.
  • Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.  The latter has spices already in it. 
  • I make these pancakes with oat milk and they turn out great!
  • This recipe makes 10-12 pancakes if they are 3-4" in diameter.
