Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Pancakes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup lightly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- 1¼ cups buttermilk
- ½ cup pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (plus more for greasing your pan)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For the Maple Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- For the Pumpkin Pancakes: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix - a few small lumps are okay. Set the pancake batter aside and allow it to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- While the batter rests, preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- When the pan is hot, use a ¼ cup measure to add a few mounds of batter to the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- For the Maple Cinnamon Whipped Cream: Place the heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form – about 3 minutes.
- Serve the pancakes topped with a dollop of whipped cream and some maple syrup.
