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
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, pumpkin pie spice, and granulated sugar until well combined, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and water or milk. Whisk gently until everything is just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot, brush the surface lightly with butter to prevent sticking and add richness.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a ladle or a ⅓ cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot pan. Cook each pancake for 1-2 minutes per side, waiting until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set before flipping to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown finish.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with your choice of maple syrup or whipped cream for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute water with milk or a plant-based milk alternative.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to keep pancakes tender.
- Adjust the heat to avoid burning the pancakes and ensure even cooking.
- Leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
