Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 Tbsp melted butter
• Cooking spray for frying 
• Toppings:
• Maple syrup
• Whipped cream
• Chopped walnuts or pecans

Step By Step Instructions

STEP ONE – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.

STEP TWO – In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg and melted butter until smooth and well combined.

STEP THREE – Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. A few small lumps are fine. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

STEP FOUR – Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

STEP FIVE – Scoop the batter onto the hot skillet to make pancakes about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, leaving a little space between each one.

STEP SIX – Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottoms are golden brown. Flip and continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.

STEP SEVEN – Serve the pumpkin pancakes warm with maple syrup, whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts.
