Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
- maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or any toppings of your choice.
