Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- 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 the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the pancakes warm with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
Helpful Tips
- For a fluffier texture, separate the egg and beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the batter.
- Substitute cow’s milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Add some chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for an extra treat.
- Use pure maple syrup or a spiced caramel drizzle as an alternative topping.
Storage Instructions
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or a toaster oven before serving.
Pairings
These pancakes pair wonderfully with a creamy pumpkin spice latte or a warm apple cider. For a complete breakfast, serve them alongside crispy turkey bacon or a fresh fruit salad.
