Pumpkin Pancakes with Pumpkin Maple Sauce
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Servings: 8 pancakes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk (or soy milk for dairy-free option)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
Instructions:
For the Pumpkin Maple Sauce:
- Heat maple syrup, pumpkin puree, and ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan until warm. 🍁🥞
- Cover and set aside, allowing the flavors to meld while you prepare the pancakes.
For the Pumpkin Pancakes:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. 🥄
- In a separate small bowl, combine the milk (or soy milk), pumpkin puree, egg, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined. 🎃🍶
- Gently add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy; overmixing can make the pancakes tough. 🥞🌟
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. 🍳
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles start to form on the surface. 🥞🔥
- Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed. 🥄🍂
- Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve them warm with the prepared Pumpkin Maple Sauce drizzled generously on top. 🎃🍁
🌟 Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of raisins to the pancake batter. 🌰🍇
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can gently warm the maple syrup and pumpkin puree separately, then drizzle them over the pancakes. 🥄🍯
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat them in a toaster or microwave for a quick and easy breakfast. 🥞❄️
