2cups2 cups complete pancake mixsuch as Krusteaz Buttermilk
½teaspoonbaking powder
1TablespoonBrown Sugar
¾cuppumpkin puree
1teaspoonpumpkin pie spice
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1 ¼cupswateror milk
Instructions
Add the pancake mix, baking powder, and pumpkin spice to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
Add the pumpkin puree, water, brown sugar, and vanilla to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, preheat your griddle to 350℉ or set a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat it with melted butter or cooking spray.
Using a ⅓ cup dry measuring cup, scoop the batter and drop it onto the griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the batter is set and bubbles begin to form on the surface.
Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter. Top with butter, chopped pecans, and maple syrup, then serve immediately.
Notes
Pancake mix: This recipe uses a complete, just-add-water mix. For a traditional mix like Bisquick, follow the box directions for 2 cups of mix with eggs and milk, skip the water, and add the pumpkin, spice, brown sugar, vanilla, and baking powder as written.
No pumpkin pie spice? Use ¾ teaspoon cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon ground ginger.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster, oven, or microwave.
