Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of whole-grain wheat flour, 4 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 3 tbsp of sugar, and 3/4 tsp of salt.
- In another bowl, crack open and lightly beat 4 eggs.
- Add 1.5 cups of milk, 1 tbsp of vegetable oil, 1 tbsp of maple syrup, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 3/4 cup of canned pumpkin. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; over-mixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Stir in the melted 1/4 cup of butter (54g) into the batter. This adds richness and enhances the flavor of the pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or vegetable oil.
- Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- If making a large batch, keep the cooked pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Serve the warm spiced pumpkin pancakes stacked on a plate. Top with additional maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, toasted nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
- Dig in and enjoy your delicious, spiced pumpkin pancakes!
Tips:
- Make sure to use whole-grain wheat flour for a healthier option that adds more texture to your pancakes.
- Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Preheat your pan well and cook pancakes over medium heat to avoid burning the exterior while ensuring the inside cooks through.
- Use a measuring cup to pour the batter for evenly sized pancakes.
- Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven until ready to serve.
These spiced pumpkin pancakes are a comforting and flavorful way to start your day. Easy to prepare and packed with the festive flavors of fall, they are sure to become a household favorite. Enjoy them with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or simply on their own. Happy cooking and bon appétit!
