Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Maple Butter: In a small bowl, beat the softened butter with maple syrup and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside or refrigerate if not using immediately.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the pancakes dense.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes and generously spread or drizzle the maple butter on top. Serve warm!
