Servings 15 Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
Toppings (optional)
- chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the pumpkin, milk, egg, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix well to combine
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring to combine. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. You should start to see bubbles forming, which is the vinegar reacting to the baking soda.
- Meanwhile, preheat the griddle to 325° F. If you're using a stovetop, lightly butter the pan, start with your burner on medium, and adjust as needed for a golden-brown pancake.
- Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop the pancake batter and pour it onto the griddle. Allow the batter to cook for about 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until the first side is golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Cooking times may vary depending on your cooking surface. The best indicator is an even golden-brown pancake. If you are still uncertain, cut one pancake in half to check that it is cooked through to the center.
- Serve warm with butter and maple syrup. Add chopped toasted pecans to complete the dish.
