Description

These light and fluffy pumpkin pancakes are quick and easy to make for a delicious fall breakfast full of pumpkin flavor. Serve warm with syrup.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

1 Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large bowl.
2 Whisk milk, pumpkin, egg, and oil together in a separate bowl until smooth. Gently stir milk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined; add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the batter is too thick. Batter should be thick but pourable and slightly lumpy.
3 Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 1 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter.
4 Serve pancakes warm with butter and maple syrup.
