Ingredients
Pumpkin Pancakes
- 2 cup white whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or canola
- 2 cups milk of choice I used 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Butter (Optional)
- 1/4 cup butter room temperature
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Stir the ingredients for the cinnamon sugar butter together in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat a griddle to 375° F. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and stir together until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Coat the griddle with cooking spray or butter. Use a cookie scoop or measuring cup to scoop out 3-4 tablespoons of the pancake batter onto the griddle. Cook until the edges are set and there are holes on top of the batter, 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook another 1-2 minutes or until cooked through.
- Serve immediately or remove them onto a baking sheet with a wire cooling rack on it. Keep the pancakes warm in a 200° F. oven until ready to serve. Serve the pancakes topped with the cinnamon sugar butter and maple syrup.
