Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 ½ cups milk plus more as needed
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seed optional
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice extract optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin spice seasoning, and ground flax seed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice extract, and pumpkin puree.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Gently whisk to combine, but do not over mix. The batter should still be lumpy. If the batter looks too thick, add a little more milk. Set the batter aside for 5 minutes while you preheat a skillet or pan.
  • Preheat a nonstick pan or a cast iron skillet to medium heat. Once your skillet is fully heated, add butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent the batter from sticking to the skillet. Pour ⅓ cup to ½ cup of batter and spread into a circle. Cook each pancake for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Notes

  • You can use regular milk or any non-dairy milk (e.g. almond milk, oat milk, etc.) in this recipe.
  • If you don't have pumpkin spice seasoning, combine 1 ¼ teaspoons cinnamon + ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg + ¼ teaspoon ground ginger + ⅛ teaspoon ground clove + ⅛ teaspoon ground all spice).
  • Increase milk amount to 1 ¾ cups if you are adding ground flax seed.
  • Do not to over mix the pancake batter to ensure the pancakes turn out light and fluffy.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, cinnamon butter, pecans, and/or maple syrup.
