Ingredients
  

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup buttermilk at room temperature
  • ½ cup canned pumpkin puree not pie filling
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter and maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and all the spices.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently. A few lumps are totally okay—just don’t overmix!
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 350°F) and lightly grease it.
  • Scoop ⅓ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping once bubbles form on the surface.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, or candied pecans.

Notes

Use real pumpkin puree for the richest flavor and room-temperature wet ingredients for the fluffiest pancakes.
