Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
  • 2.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1.25 cup milk room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted slightly cooled
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil or butter, for the pan

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk milk, pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Stream in melted butter while whisking.
  • Pour wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently until just combined; a few small lumps are fine. Rest 5 minutes.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium. When a drop of water sizzles, it’s ready.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles set around edges, 2–3 minutes.
  • Flip and cook until golden and cooked through, 1–2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

Try swapping milk with buttermilk for extra tang and lift, or fold in a handful of chocolate chips or chopped pecans. Keep pancakes warm on a 200°F oven rack while you finish the batch, or refrigerate leftovers for 3 days and reheat in a toaster.
