  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and brown sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve hot with toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or chopped nuts for an extra indulgent treat.

Notes

  • For vegan pancakes, substitute eggs with flaxseed or chia seed eggs and use plant-based milk and vegan butter.
  • Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave or skillet.
  • Enhance flavor with add-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
