Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Are you ready to indulge in the flavors of fall? Look no further than these mouthwatering Pumpkin Spice Pancakes! As the weather starts to change and crisp mornings greet us, it’s the perfect time to whip up a batch of these delectable treats. Trust me, this recipe will not disappoint!

What You’ll Need

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 2 Tbs. vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. vanilla

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the sugar and give it a good mix.
  2. Create a well in the center of the bowl and add the milk, beaten eggs, oil, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir together until well blended. If the batter seems too thick, add a little more milk. Let the batter sit for 15-20 minutes to rise and thicken, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
  3. Heat some vegetable or canola oil on a griddle or large skillet with a flat bottom. Test the temperature by ensuring the oil sizzles when hot enough.
  4. Using an ice cream scoop, place two full scoops of batter for each pancake onto the griddle or skillet. When bubbles form on the top, carefully flip the pancakes over and brown them on the other side. Be sure to cook them long enough to ensure the middle is fully cooked. Due to the pumpkin, these pancakes may be a bit denser and require a few extra minutes to cook through.
  5. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate.

Serve and Enjoy

These Pumpkin Spice Pancakes are perfectly delightful on their own, but why stop there? Enhance the experience by drizzling warm maple syrup over them. And for those craving an extra touch of decadence, don’t hold back from adding a dollop of whipped cream. This combination is simply heavenly!
