Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, gently stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay to keep the pancakes tender.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pumpkin pancakes warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or an extra dusting of cinnamon for an indulgent, seasonal breakfast.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Adjust the cooking heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring pancakes cook through.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
- Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated and reheated or frozen for later enjoyment.
