Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (125 g) whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 1 cup (240 ml) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (130 g) mini chocolate chips
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, chopped pecans, extra chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flours, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
- In another bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 2 minutes.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or toppings of choice.
Notes
- Rest the batter for 5–10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
- Do not overmix—gentle stirring keeps pancakes tender.
- For a fun holiday twist, top with cinnamon sugar or whipped cream “ghosts.”
- Pancakes can be frozen up to 2 months; reheat in toaster or oven.
