Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly blended. This ensures even distribution of flavors and sweetness throughout the batter.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, and pumpkin purée until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, providing moisture and pumpkin flavor.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Proper heat ensures pancakes cook evenly without burning.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and a few bubbles appear on the surface before flipping.
Notes
- Use fresh pumpkin purée or canned 100% pure pumpkin for best flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter; some lumps are okay for tender pancakes.
- Adjust skillet heat as needed to prevent burning or undercooking.
- Serve with maple syrup, butter, or your favorite fall toppings like chopped nuts or whipped cream.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond milk or oat milk.
