Light, airy pumpkin pancakes perfectly spiced and topped with a creamy cinnamon maple whipped butter, ideal for cozy fall mornings or weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
  • ¾ cup (180 g) pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted + extra for cooking
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For cinnamon maple whipped butter:
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; small lumps are okay.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Test heat by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should sizzle gently.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Avoid pressing down with the spatula.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat softened butter with maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Serve pancakes stacked with a dollop of cinnamon maple whipped butter on top. Optionally drizzle with extra maple syrup.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy; room temperature eggs and buttermilk improve rise; use cast iron or heavy non-stick pan for best crust; flip pancakes only once; if batter thickens, stir in a splash of buttermilk; cook in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
