Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
Pumpkin spice pancakes are fluffy, tender breakfast treats made by mixing pumpkin puree and warm spices into a classic pancake batter. The mixture is cooked on a griddle until golden brown edges appear, with a soft center that is slightly moist and aromatic. The final result is a visually appealing stack with crispy tops and a moist, cinnamon-scented interior.

Equipment
- Griddle or non-stick skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 2 tablespoons 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 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Preheat your griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between them. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra cinnamon.
