Servings: 4 (Makes 6-8 pancakes)
Calories: 482kcal
Ingredients
- 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 1/4 cup low fat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine your wet ingredients, pumpkin puree, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk it all together until smooth.
- Add baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk it in.
- Add flour and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly whisk it in until evenly combined throughout.
- For best results, let the batter sit on the counter for about 15 minutes. This will give baking powder and baking soda time to activate and interact with other ingredients and result in perfectly fluffy pancakes.
- Preheat the pan (or the griddle) first over medium heat. Add a little bit of oil to the pan if needed, spoon pancake batter into the hot pan and let it cook on that side until you start to see little bubbles appear over the top. Those little bubbles are your clue that pancakes are ready to flip. Flip and finish cooking. Cooking the other side of the pancake will take much less time so keep an eye on it.

Notes
Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour. Note that this will change the texture of the pancakes.
Dairy-Free: Substitute the buttermilk with a milk alternative such as oat or almond milk. This will make the pancakes less fluffy.
Vegan: Milk: Substitute buttermilk with oat or almond milk. Eggs: You can substitute each egg with either cup of applesauce/mashed banana or 2 tablespoons of nut butter per egg.
