Ingredients
2 cups pancake mix
1 cup milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée
1 large egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pancake mix, milk, pumpkin purée, egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1–2 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm with desired toppings.
Notes
For a homemade pumpkin pie spice, combine 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and a pinch each of ginger and cloves.
If using fresh pumpkin purée, ensure it has a thick consistency similar to canned pumpkin.
To keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (90°C) oven.
