Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk or dairy-free milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Serving (optional):

  • Maple syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Pecans or walnuts
  • Extra cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Mix the dry ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Mix the wet ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine wet and dry ingredients:

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick and lumpy—don't overmix.

Heat the griddle:

  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Cook the pancakes:

  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve:

  • Serve the pancakes warm, stacked, and topped with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your choice of toppings.
