Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until well blended to ensure even distribution of spices and sweetness.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, whole milk, and pumpkin purée until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, creating the liquid base for the batter.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough instead of fluffy.
- Cook pancakes: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, flipping carefully to maintain shape.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay for tender pancakes.
- Use whole milk for the best texture, but milk substitutes can be used if desired.
- If pumpkin purée is too thick, slightly thin it with a teaspoon of milk before mixing.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, or your favorite fall toppings like nuts or whipped cream.
