Ingredients:

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1.70g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g
1.50 cups milk (2% fat)
370g
1 tbsp maple syrup
20g
4 eggs
220g
4 tsp baking powder
10g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
1/4 cup butter
54g
3/4 cup canned pumpkin
180g
3/4 tsp salt
4.50g
3 tbsp sugar
36g
1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Work Area: Gather all your ingredients and kitchen tools. You will need mixing bowls, a whisk, a ladle, a spatula, measuring spoons, and a non-stick skillet or griddle.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- 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.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- 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.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- 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.
5. Add Melted Butter:
- Stir in the melted 1/4 cup of butter (54g) into the batter. This adds richness and enhances the flavor of the pancakes.
6. Preheat the Skillet:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or vegetable oil.
7. Cook the Pancakes:
- 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.
8. Keep Warm:
- 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.
9. Serve:
- 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.
10. Enjoy:
- 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!
