Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves).
  2. In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. You can also add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture.
