Ingredients

• 1 cup Butternut squash purée
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Egg
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the butternut squash purée, egg, milk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if a few lumps remain.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a ladle or 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot skillet, forming pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or a dollop of whipped cream.
