Ingredients
  

Pumpkin pancakes:

  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 ¾ cup buttermilk room temperature (see note 1)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Cinnamon honey butter:

  • ½ cup butter 8 tablespoons, at room temperature
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together pumpkin, buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla.
  • Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Some lumps are OK; do NOT overmix, that'll result in chewy pancakes. Let batter sit 5-10 minutes while you prepare the cinnamon honey butter!
  • Add all cinnamon honey butter ingredients to a small bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and grease with butter or oil. Pour about ⅓ cup of pancake batter into the skillet and gently spread the batter to form a circle. Cook 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve warm with cinnamon honey butter and maple syrup!

Notes

  1. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by mixing together 1 ¾ cup of milk with 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice. Let mixture sit for 10 minutes before using.
