Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ginger

¼ teaspoon cloves

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

½ cup milk (whole or plant-based)

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans for topping

Maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined (do not overmix; some small lumps are okay).

        Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of melted butter to coat the surface.

          Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

            Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm, topped with chopped walnuts or pecans if desired, and drizzle with maple syrup.
