Equipment

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup whole milk
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 egg, room temperature
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Gather the ingredients.
Whisk the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
Mix the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, and melted butter until combined.
Fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Do not overmix.
Let the pumpkin pancake batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
If using a griddle, preheat it to 350°F. If using a skillet, spray it with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet or griddle.
Flip the pancakes once the edges begin to set and bubbles appear on the surface. Each side usually takes about 3 minutes to cook.
Serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

It's okay if your batter is still lumpy. Overmixing the batter will result in tough pancakes, rather than light and fluffy ones.
For best results, let your pumpkin pancake batter sit 10 minutes before cooking. It makes all the difference in lift and fluffiness!
Store your fluffy pumpkin pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just reheat in the microwave or toaster oven when ready to enjoy.
