INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat a pan or griddle to medium heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, organic cane sugar, pumpkin spice, ground cinnamon, and salt). Set aside.
Add the egg, melted butter, milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to a medium bowl and combine well. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and combine with a wooden spatula. Do not over-mix the batter, there will be a few lumps in the batter. If you prefer a less thick batter, add 1-4 tablespoons of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Grease the pan or griddle with nonstick cooking spray or butter and pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Allow the pancakes to cook for about 2 minutes or until you notice bubbles forming in the batter. Flip and cook for 1-2 minutes. Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings and syrup.

SUBSTITUTIONS/VARIATIONS for Pumpkin Pancakes With Pumpkin Pie Spice

Nutty goodness. Add a handful of chopped walnuts, or pecans to give these pancakes a little crunch to complement the softness.
Add a topping. Butter and maple syrup are staple toppings for pancakes but there are also a variety of other options too. Whipped cream, powdered sugar, honey, cream cheese, or even flavored syrup makes delicious toppings.
Use milk. This recipe calls for milk, but you can use any milk of choice in place. Just note there will be a slight texture and taste change when using buttermilk as it lends to a richer-tasting pancake.
Make these dairy-free pancakes. To make this recipe dairy-free, you would use plant-based milk in place of milk along with using vegan butter or coconut oil in place of the butter.

TIPS

Don’t overmix the batter. Stir the ingredients until combined and incorporated.
If you want a thinner pancake batter, add in 1-4 tablespoons of milk to thin it out.
Use a well-greased pan or skillet. Cook the pancakes in medium-low heat as too not burn them.
Use a spoon or measuring cup when pouring the batter into the pan. This helps make sure the pancakes have an even thickness.
The pancakes are ready to flip when the bubbles have formed on the top of the pancakes and start to pop leaving small holes behind. This should be 1-2 minutes after the batter is poured into the skillet.
Do not press down on the pancakes with your spatula while cooking; this can squeeze out moisture and produce a drier pancake.
