In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are fine.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.
For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Spread it slightly into a circle if needed.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional chocolate chips.
