Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Combine Mixtures
Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve
Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes on plates and serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious Gilmore Girls-inspired pumpkin pancakes!

Notes

Use Fresh Spices: Freshly ground spices can enhance the flavor of your pancakes.
Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes. Stir just until combined.
Test the Heat: If pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
Keep Warm: If making a large batch, keep pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) while cooking the rest.
