Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
- Optional: chocolate chips, chopped pecans, or extra spices
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
- Bring It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix — a few small lumps are fine. If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve Warm: Stack your pancakes and top with butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for the ultimate fall breakfast.
Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing the batter and make sure your baking powder is fresh. Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
