In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, almond milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon to create even circles.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying nonstick spray as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
