In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the sugar, pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. If needed, spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkling of additional chopped walnuts.
