Yields:

Prep Time:

Cook Time:
20-25 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Fall Pumpkin Pancakes:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional butter or oil for the griddle
For the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
Equipment:
- Griddle or large non-stick pan
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Cinnamon Honey Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, cinnamon, and honey. Mix with a fork or small whisk until well combined and fluffy. Set aside.
-
Mix Dry Pancake Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice until well combined.
-
Mix Wet Pancake Ingredients:
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Combine Wet and Dry:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes.
-
Heat the Griddle:
- Heat your griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Remove pancakes from the griddle and stack them on plates. Top generously with the homemade cinnamon honey butter. Serve immediately with a side of eggs and crispy bacon for a complete Sunday morning breakfast/brunch!
