Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Additional pumpkin puree (for sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

To prepare the pumpkin maple sauce, combine the maple syrup, heavy cream, additional pumpkin puree, and butter in a small saucepan.

Step 8

Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is smooth and heated through. Do not let it boil.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled generously with the pumpkin maple sauce. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or toasted pecans.
