Ingredients
-
2 cups (240 g) pancake mix
-
1 tbsp (12 g) sugar
-
1 tsp (3 g) pumpkin pie spice
-
½ cup (122 g) pumpkin purée
-
2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract
-
1 ¼ cups (300 ml) water or milk
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, whisk together pancake mix, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
-
Stir in pumpkin purée, vanilla extract, and water or milk until smooth—avoid overmixing.
-
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat; lightly brush with butter.

Pour batter in ⅓ cup portions onto the skillet. Cook 1–2 minutes per side, until bubbles form and edges look set before flipping.

Notes
Don’t overmix batter—this keeps pancakes light and fluffy.
Use milk instead of water for extra richness.
For a DIY pumpkin pie spice: mix ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp nutmeg, and ¼ tsp ginger.
Make dairy-free by using plant-based milk and coconut oil for cooking.
