Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Whipped cream, for topping
• Additional cinnamon, for garnish

How to Make Pumpkin Pancakes with Whipped Cream

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar. Whisk until well mixed.
2. In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, and melted butter until fully combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little butter or cooking spray.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the right flavor and consistency.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps will yield fluffier pancakes.
• Adjust the heat as needed while cooking to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of ginger or cloves to the batter.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for added texture.
• Serve with maple syrup or caramel sauce for a decadent treat.
• Incorporate other spices like ginger or allspice for a unique flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Maple syrup or honey for drizzling
• Fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries
• Yogurt or cottage cheese for added protein
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory balance
