Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice blend and salt. Stir until blended.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin purée, egg, maple syrup, melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk until completely blended.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until the dry ingredients are completely incorporated.
  • Heat a nonstick griddle or pan over medium-low heat. Melt butter on the surface, if desired. Pour ⅓ cup of the batter into the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until small bubbles start to form on the top and the edges firm up. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancake is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately with maple syrup.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 5 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. To warm them, wrap the pancakes loosely with a paper towel and reheat in the microwave.
Make Ahead: You can mix the batter (dry or wet, or both) a day in advance and have it ready to make in the morning.
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However, here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • You can sub the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour or 1:1 gluten-free flour.
  • You can leave out the egg completely if you want to make this vegan and skip the butter when cooking the pancakes.
  • You can use any milk of your choice.
