Ingredients

1 cup milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups pancake mix
1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Combine milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until thoroughly blended.
To the same bowl, add pancake mix and pumpkin pie spice. Mix with a whisk until blended.
Let the batter rest while you preheat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat (350 degrees F). Spray griddle with nonstick cooking spray, oil, or a little butter or margarine to prevent sticking.
Once hot, pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet or hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges of the pancake look set (about 2-3 minutes).
Carefully flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat the steps with the remaining pancake batter. Serve fluffy pumpkin pancakes warm with your favorite pancake toppings.

Notes

If using a complete pancake mix, omit the eggs from the recipe.
Use a whisk to mix the batter instead of a spoon. This will reduce the number of lumps in the batter.
The batter should be smooth but not runny. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time.
Flip the pancake when you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look set.
Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just layer them between sheets of parchment paper and reheat when ready to serve.
