Flavorful and fluffy pumpkin pancakes are best served warm with maple syrup!
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 and 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoon orange zest
Butter, for the pan
Maple syrup, for serving
Method
1
In a large bowl add the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice; whisk well to combine. In a separate bowl add the eggs and lightly beat them with a whisk. Add in the milk, pumpkin, and vanilla and beat until well combined. Stir this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined. Quickly fold in the orange juice and zest, stirring until evenly combined. Be careful not to over mix the batter.

Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a buttered hot pan or griddle, adding only a few at a time so that they do not blend together. Cook for about 3 minutes before flipping them over, or until small bubbles form on top. Cook on the second side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with all pancake batter. Serve pancakes warm, with extra butter and maple syrup. See notes for freezing options.
