Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients – In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Combine wet ingredients – In a separate mixing bowl, add the eggs. Whisk on high speed until foamy about one minute. Add the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, melted butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
- Finish batter – Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t over mix the batter.
- Cook pancakes – Heat your skillet and grease with butter or a non stick spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter in the skillet for each pancake. Make sure to leave plenty of space between the pancakes because the batter will spread as you pour it in the pan. Cook for about 2 – 3 minutes until the surface has bubbles forming. Flip and cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from pan.
- Keep warm – Place the cooked pancakes on a baking tray set over a baking rack and place in a warm oven while you make the rest of the pancakes.
- Serve – Serve warm with your favourite toppings.




Recipe Tips
- Donโt over mix the batterย โ When you add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, just fold them in until combined. Over mixing will result in rubbery pancakes.
- Keep waffles warm as you cook the restย โ Place the cooked pancakes on a baking rack placed over a baking tray and keep warm in the oven while you make the rest of the pancakes.

Substutions
- Pumpkin pureeย โ For this recipe you can easily use store bought pumpkin puree or seeย How To Make Pumpkin Puree in The Slow Cooker.
- Buttermilkย โ I do recommend using buttermilk if you have it. But you can make buttermilk by adding one tablespoon of vinegar to whole milk and letting it sit for about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can use semi skimmed milk or non dairy milk for less fluffy waffles.

Serving
- Warm maple syrup or honey
- Whipped butter
- Fresh whipped cream
- Toasted pecans or walnuts
- Greek yogurt
- Homemade Caramel Sauce
- Caramelized Pears
- Brown Butter Apples
