Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend (a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative such as almond or oat milk)

1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)

Optional: maple syrup, whipped cream, or a scattering of chopped nuts for serving

Instructions
 

Start by preparing a large mixing bowl. In it, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt until evenly blended. This will create your dry mixture.

    In a separate bowl, combine the milk, pure pumpkin puree, large egg, and melted butter. Whisk these wet ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.

      Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing—it's perfectly fine if some lumps remain in the batter.

        Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or a cooking spray as needed.

          Using a measuring cup, pour approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, approximately 3–4 minutes.

            Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and allow them to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes or until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked through.

              Continue this process with the remaining pancake batter, ensuring to adjust the heat to maintain an even cooking temperature and prevent burning.

                Once all pancakes are cooked, serve them warm and top with your choice of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.
