Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour the pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the pumpkin pancakes with maple syrup, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
