Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with Maple Syrup are a delightful autumn breakfast treat, perfect for cozy mornings or holiday brunches. With a preparation time of about 15 minutes and a cooking time of 10 minutes, this recipe is easy enough for beginner cooks and satisfying enough to impress your family and friends. These fluffy pancakes combine the warm, inviting flavors of pumpkin and spices, making them a perfect way to embrace the fall season.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Maple syrup, for serving
Cooking Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more.
- Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.
For ingredient substitutions, you can use whole wheat flour for a healthier version or almond milk for a dairy-free option. If pumpkin pie spice is unavailable, a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can be used instead for a similar flavor.
Variations of this recipe can include adding chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit to the batter for added texture and flavor. You can also experiment with flavored syrups, such as caramel or butterscotch, to give a different twist to the classic maple syrup topping.
For cooking tips, verify that your skillet is at the right temperature to prevent the pancakes from sticking or burning. If pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat slightly. Additionally, letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking can help to create fluffier pancakes.
To pair these delicious pancakes with beverages, consider serving them with a warm cup of chai tea, spiced apple cider, or a simple glass of orange juice. The flavors complement the warm spices of the pancakes perfectly!
