Description

Ingredients
•
1 cup whole wheat flour
•
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
•
1 egg
•
4 teaspoons white sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
•
1 teaspoon baking powder
•
1/2 cup milk, or more as needed
•
2 tablespoons pecan pieces, or to taste
•
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste
Directions
1
Stir flour, pumpkin, egg, sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl until well mixed; the mixture will be thick and chunky. Add baking powder and stir until evenly distributed. Slowly pour in 1/4 cup milk while stirring; mix until all liquid is absorbed. Add more milk and stir until batter is smooth and firm, yet flows off the spoon; a wooden spoon inserted into the mixture will stand, but batter will flow when poured. Mix in pecans.
2
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until edges are dry, 1 to 2 minutes; flip and cook on the other side until edges are firm, another 1 to 2 minutes.
3
Place a pat of butter on each pancake as they are removed from the skillet and transferred to a plate. Sift confectioners' sugar on top.
