Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree unsweetened
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or non-stick skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this keeps the pancakes fluffy.
  4. Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot; lightly grease if needed.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake, allowing space to spread out.
  6. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
  8. Once all pancakes are cooked, serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, whipped cream, or extra pumpkin seeds.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of additional spices or serve with a dollop of cream cheese or yogurt.
