Ingredients
  

  • 1+1/2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1+1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp melted butter, cooled (plus more butter for the pan/griddle)
  • 1 large egg
  • more butter for the pan
  • maple syrup, glaze, or cinnamon sugar for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and spices).
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients (milk, pumpkin, vanilla, egg and melted butter).
  • Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, whisking until just combined and no bits of dry ingredients remain. It's ok if the mixture is slightly lumpy.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Add about 1 tbsp of butter and swirl until the pan is coated and the butter is melted. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the pancake batter. Cook the pancakes in batches until bubbles are forming around the edges, about 3-5 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  • Serve pancakes warm with topping of choice.
