Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups pancake mix
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 & ¼ cups water or milk
For Cooking
- Butter for brushing the pan
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of pancake mix, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices and sugar.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate ½ cup pumpkin puree, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 & ¼ cups water or milk into the dry mixture. Whisk gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Heat the Pan: Place a nonstick pan over medium heat and allow it to warm. Once hot, brush the surface with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Cook the Pancakes: Using a ladle or a ⅓ cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the pan. Cook each pancake for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form in the center and the edges look set. Carefully flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm if making multiple batches. Serve warm topped with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite pancake toppings for a delicious seasonal breakfast.
Notes
- For thicker pancakes, reduce the liquid to 1 cup.
- Use milk instead of water for richer flavor and softer texture.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the heat of your pan.
- These pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while finishing remaining batches.
