Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

These pumpkin spice pancakes are fluffy and moist with a warm, spicy flavor from cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin puree. They are cooked on a skillet until golden brown, resulting in tender, slightly dense pancakes with a visually appealing rise and crisp edges. The final appearance is thick, light, and speckled with spices, perfect for autumn mornings.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, creating an even dry mixture.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, and melted butter, whisking until smooth and well blended.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy but well incorporated.
  4. Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat; lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. The surface should be hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles upon contact.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet, gently spreading to form an even circle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes carefully using a spatula, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through in the center.
  7. Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
  8. Serve the pumpkin spice pancakes warm, topped with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings for a cozy breakfast experience.
