Ingredients

2 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp cinnamon
⅛ tsp salt
1 cup milk
⅔ cup pumpkin puree not pie filling!
1 tbsp pure maple syrup plus more for serving
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat a skillet or griddle to a medium low heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt. Set aside
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla and eggs until smooth
Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until smooth.
Prep the warmed skillet with cooking spray and fry off the pancake batter in scant 1/4 cup scoops, making sure to keep the heat low so the fluffy pancakes cook through before they turn too brown on each side - rushing will result in gluey pancakes. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the pancakes warm as you work in batches.

Notes

Resist the urge to press down on the pancake with your spatula! Once you flip the pancake, I recommend you don't press down on it with your spatula. This will create dense pancakes instead of fluffy ones! Also, try to only flip them one time. Over-flipping can also make them dense.

Keep the cooked pancakes warm! Since you have to cook your healthy pumpkin spice pancakes in batches, preheat the oven to around 200 F and place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet with a wire rack in the oven to keep them warm while you finish the rest!

For gluten-free pumpkin spice pancakes, use a gluten-free 1 to 1 replacement flour!
