  • 1 cup pumpkin puree Use fresh for the best taste or canned for convenience.
  • 1 large egg Acts as the binding agent in our batter.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Pour in the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until just blended.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  2. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle, spacing them about three inches apart. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until both sides are golden brown and fragrant.
Serving
  1. Stack the pancakes high, drizzle with maple syrup, and add whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Make ahead by preparing the batter the night before. Be cautious not to overmix the batter for fluffier pancakes. Add chocolate chips or toasted pecans for an extra flavor kick.
