Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cozy Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and your favorite spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of milk (or plant-based milk), and 2 well-beaten eggs.
  3. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes while you heat your griddle.
  4. Set your griddle to medium heat, allowing it to warm up for about 5 minutes. Lightly grease the griddle with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
  5. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the pancake batter and pour it onto the hot griddle. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and fluffy.
  7. Repeat until all batter is used and adjust heat as necessary to ensure even cooking.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit.
