Whether it’s a crisp Sunday morning or a late night craving, these pancakes give you all the Fall vibes.

If you have a little extra buttermilk and pumpkin puree on hand, this recipe is the perfect use for it. Why would I have these you ask? Well, I am making buttermilk marinated roast chicken tomorrow and a pumpkin birthday cake with cream cheese frosting.

I’ll be honest, I don’t have the cutest pictures of these pancakes but BOY are they good. Good thing there aren’t enough to share because if there were I still don’t think I would give these up willingly.

Needs:

  • two bowls – one for wet ingredients and the other for dry
  • Small non-stick pan

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup of flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • pinches of cinnamon, nutmeg, clover, ginger
  • 1/2 cup of buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • heaping spoonful of pumpkin puree
  • 1 tab of melted butter
  • splash of vanilla extract
  • optional toppings: handful of nut mix, warmed maple syrup or whipped cream

Directions:

  1. Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl and the dry ingredients in the other.
  2. Combine the wet and dry ingredients to make the batter (it may be lumpy, that’s alright!)
  3. Melt a tab of butter on in the non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Drop 1/4 cup of batter in the skillet and cook for about two minutes until you see little bubbles come through the top and the bottom is golden brown.
  5. Flip the pancake and cook for another couple of minutes. Then remove the pancake from skillet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest of the batter.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining batter.
  7. Top with chopped up nuts, warmed syrup or whipped cream.

Cheers to more Fall inspired recipes coming your way.
