Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Fluffy and flavorful pumpkin spice pancakes perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch, infused with warm autumn spices and real pumpkin puree.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or toasted nuts, if desired.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking and avoid overmixing. These pancakes pair beautifully with a dollop of cinnamon-spiced whipped cream.
