2 tablespoons (packed)

1 tablespoon (measured)
pumpkin pie spice
1 1/4 teaspoons (measured)

1 teaspoon (measured)
milk or soy milk
1 3/4 cups (measured)
pumpkin puree
1/2 cup (measured (for batter))
large egg
1 (beaten)

Instructions
1
Start by preparing the Pumpkin Maple Drizzle: In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, pumpkin puree, and ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice). Heat over low to medium heat until warm, stirring occasionally. Once warm, cover and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until evenly combined.
3
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk (or soy milk), 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, egg, and vegetable oil. Stir well to ensure the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
5
Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
6
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancakes and edges appear set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
7
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
8
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with the prepared Pumpkin Maple Drizzle, and enjoy your delightful autumn breakfast!
