Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (such as Fage 0%)
- 1/4 cup plain pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened milk of your choice (e.g., almond or oat)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until evenly combined and free of lumps.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, plain pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened milk until the mixture is smooth and the eggs are fully incorporated.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl. Whisk gently until smooth, taking care not to overmix so a few small lumps remain for tender pancakes. Let the batter rest for a couple of minutes to enhance fluffiness.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips. Enjoy your cozy, delicious breakfast!
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; some small lumps are good for tender pancakes.
- Resting the batter for a few minutes helps make pancakes fluffier.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute the unsweetened milk with any plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
- Add your favorite toppings like pure maple syrup, chopped pecans, or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.
