Recipe Summary
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Servings: 4
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter and maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook 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.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
Helpful Tips
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or soy milk, and use coconut oil instead of butter. Add some chocolate chips or crushed pecans to the batter for a fun twist.
Storage Instructions
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Simply reheat in the microwave or toaster for a quick breakfast.
Pairings
These Pumpkin Pancakes pair wonderfully with a steaming mug of spiced chai or a rich caramel latte. Serve alongside crispy bacon or sausage for a balanced and hearty meal.
