Ingredients
2 cups dry pancake mix
2/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (plus additional for cooking)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, water, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the hot skillet.
Cook for two minutes on the first side until bubbles form and edges set.
Flip and cook for an additional two minutes until golden brown.
Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until serving.
Notes
Avoid over-mixing the batter; a few small lumps help keep the pancakes light and fluffy rather than tough. Keep the cooked pancakes in a low-temperature oven to ensure the entire batch is warm when served.
