Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with regular milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Optional: Chopped pecans or walnuts for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and brown sugar. Whisk together until completely integrated, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

      Combine Mixtures: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the two mixtures together using a spatula. Mix until just combined; it’s perfectly acceptable for the batter to remain slightly lumpy—this ensures fluffy pancakes!

        Heat the Cooking Surface: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

          Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

            Repeat Cooking Process: Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more grease to the skillet as necessary between batches to maintain a non-stick surface.

              Serve Your Pancakes: Arrange a stack of fluffy pumpkin pancakes on a serving plate. Drizzle generous amounts of warm maple syrup over the top and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch and flavor.

                Enjoy Your Creation: Serve the pancakes warm and indulge in the scrumptious taste of your homemade fluffy pumpkin pancakes!
