The Best Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

10-12 pancakes
Breakfast
United States
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoons OTSS pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat milk work well)
- ½ cup pure pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
Step 2
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Step 3
Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. It's okay if there are a few small lumps; do not overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes.
Step 4
Rest the Batter (Optional but Recommended): For fluffier pancakes, cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate and the gluten to relax.
Step 5
Heat Skillet or Griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a little butter or oil.
Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated skillet.
Step 6
Flip and Cook: Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Keep Warm: As you finish cooking each batch, transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a preheated oven set to a low temperature (around 200°F / 95°C) while you cook the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings!
