  • 3 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, optional
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl

ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon pancake batter

Maple Glaze

ingredients

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut or brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice (if using).

  • Step 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla.

  • Step 3

    Add the wet ingredients into the dry and use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until just combined.

  • Step 4

    In a small separate bowl, make the cinnamon swirl mixture by mixing together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tbsp of the pancake batter.

  • Step 5

    Transfer the mixture to a small plastic sandwich baggie, and snip a small portion of the corner off.

  • Step 6

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with butter.

  • Step 7

    Use a 1/4 cup to pour the pancake batter into the skillet for each pancake.

  • Step 8

    Use the piping baggie full of the cinnamon swirl mixture and gently swirl the mixture into the pancake, pushing slightly into the batter so the cinnamon mixture swirls into the batter, not just on top.

  • Step 9

    Once bubbles appear on the surface, gently flip the pancake over and cook the other side for a minute, or until golden. Repeat with remaining batter and cinnamon swirl mixture.

  • Step 10

    Serve pancakes warm with additional butter, maple syrup, or a simple glaze if desired.
