Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cups pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 1 piece large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or butter (for greasing skillet)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix. A few small lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set.

Step 7

Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve warm with butter and maple syrup, or your favorite pancake toppings.
