Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg (freshly grated is best)
3/4 cup milk (any type)
1 large egg
2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until combined.
In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and maple syrup until smooth.
Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another minute until golden brown.
Serve warm with additional maple syrup or toppings of your choice.
