Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender or food processor, pulse 1 cup rolled oats until finely ground. In a large bowl, whisk the ground oats with 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups milk, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp melted butter until smooth.
- Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; the batter will be thick.
- Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with butter. Spoon 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
- Step 5: Flip pancakes and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm with maple syrup.
