Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk of your choice
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar (if using) and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is combined
  • Then throw in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt. Fold in until just combined (don’t over mix)
  • Let your pancake batter sit out for 10 minutes. During this time, heat up a large nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat
  • Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter and pour the batter into the middle of the pan or griddle. Let cook for 2 minutes or until the bottom of the pancake is golden brown. Then flip and cool for another 2 minutes. Repeat until all the batter is used up. You can also make mini pancakes using a tablespoon scoop and cook those the same
  • Serve warm! Eat them with maple syrup, peanut butter or just by themselves! You can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy!:)
