Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 pinch Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree
- 3/4 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients and measure them accurately to ensure the best results.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and egg, whisking until smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently to combine. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to hydrate and thicken slightly.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Portion Batter: Use about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, pouring it gently onto the hot skillet.
- Cook Pancakes: Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a towel to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay to keep pancakes fluffy.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree or canned pure pumpkin for convenience.
- If batter gets too thick after resting, add a little extra milk to loosen it up.
- Butter or oil can be used for greasing the skillet depending on preference.
