PUMPKIN PANCAKES
These pumpkin pancakes from The Brown Eyed Baker make the perfect breakfast on a chilly fall morning. We’ve swapped out the vegetable oil in the original recipe for a fruity extra virgin olive oil, but we also love these with Blood Orange Olive Oil!
Makes 6 PANCAKES
INGREDIENTS
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- ½ cup canned pumpkin
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons fruit extra virgin olive oil, such as We Olive Arbequina
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat a griddle to medium heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin, egg, olive oil and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and whisk gently until completely combined. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Once the griddle comes to temperature, drizzle with vegetable oil and wipe off excess with a paper towel.
- Ladle ⅓-cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bubbles around the edges are open and set. Flip and cook on the second side for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve immediately. Leftover pancakes can be frozen for up to 1 month.
