Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and milk until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined; do not overmix, the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot, and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through in the center.
  7. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter or spray as needed.
  8. Once all pancakes are cooked, sprinkle the toasted pecans over the top and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, serve with maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. To toast pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until fragrant.
