Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

      Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

        Heat the Griddle: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of melted butter.

          Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet. Cook until the edges start to look set and bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

            Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes on a plate, and drizzle with warm maple syrup right before serving.

              Enjoy: Top with a sprinkle of additional pumpkin pie spice if desired, and enjoy your fluffy pancakes!
