Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin purée, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy, allowing a few lumps.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes, then flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm, topped generously with maple syrup and a pat of butter for the perfect seasonal breakfast.
Notes
- Add chocolate chips or chopped pecans to the batter for an added texture and flavor twist.
- Substitute whole-wheat flour for all-purpose flour to increase the fiber content and make a heartier pancake.
