Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups pumpkin or squash puree
• 1 cups milk
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin or squash puree, milk, eggs, maple syrup or brown sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but smooth.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly into a circle, if needed.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as necessary.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or toasted nuts.
