Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Optional spices: ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (or to taste)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup pumpkin butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins & Cooking

  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • Butter for cooking (about 1-2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and optional spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) until well combined. This ensures even distribution of leavening and flavor.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg, then stir in the pumpkin butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and aromatic.
  3. Blend Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy; some lumps are okay.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the mini chocolate chips into the batter to ensure even distribution without sinking.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Scoop ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to preserve fluffiness.
  • Maintain consistent medium heat to avoid burning pancakes.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for better melting and distribution.
  • Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to activate baking powder.
  • Butter your pan lightly for golden edges and to prevent sticking.
