Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Pumpkin puree: Adds moisture color, and flavor
  • All-purpose flour: Provides structure
  • Baking powder: Helps pancakes rise
  • Pumpkin spice blend: Cinnamon nutmeg, ginger, and clove
  • Salt: Balances sweetness
  • Milk: Keeps batter smooth and pourable
  • Eggs: Bind ingredients and add fluffiness
  • Maple syrup or brown sugar: Gentle sweetness
  • Melted butter or oil: Adds richness
  • Vanilla extract: Rounds out the flavor

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls: One for dry, one for wet ingredients
  • Whisk: For smooth batter
  • Skillet or griddle: Nonstick works best
  • Spatula: For flipping
  • Measuring cups and spoons: For accuracy

Method
 

  1. Mix dry ingredients: Combine flour, baking powder, spices, and salt
  2. Mix wet ingredients: Whisk pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, sweetener, butter, and vanilla
  3. Combine gently: Stir wet into dry just until mixed
  4. Rest batter: Let sit for 5–10 minutes
  5. Heat skillet: Lightly grease and warm over medium heat
  6. Cook pancakes: Pour batter, cook until bubbles form, flip and finish

Notes

Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning while caramelizing the sugar. For extra flavor, sprinkle additional cinnamon or spiced whipped cream on top.
