FLUFFY PUMPKIN PANCAKES

 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

Instructions:

1. Heat a frying pan or electric griddle to medium heat.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and pumpkin puree.
4. Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
5. Lightly grease the frying pan or griddle.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot griddle.
7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Repeat steps 6-7 with the remaining batter.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Here are some additional tips:

• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
• If the batter is too thick, thin it out with a little more milk.
• To check if the pancakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the pancakes are done.
• Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or nuts.
