This light and fluffy Pumpkin Pancakes recipe served with cinnamon syrup will top your favorite fall breakfast list. Made with simple pantry ingredients and canned pumpkin.
In a bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar.
3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, 1 large egg, 1 Tablespoon oil, 1 Tablespoon vinegar
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon and salt. Stir into the pumpkin mixture, just enough to combine.
1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 Tablespoons light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
For the Cinnamon Syrup:
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add baking soda--it will cause the mixture to foam up. Cook for 30 more seconds and then remove from heat.
1/2 cup butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 t teaspoon baking soda
Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Syrup will thicken as it cools. Store leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 2 weeks.
