Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 10 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of King Arthur whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup of King Arthur white flour
  • 1 tbsp of cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp of nutmeg
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • 3 tbsp of sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup of buttermilk we've also made this with coconut milk to make it dairy free
  • 2 tbsp of melted butter
  • 1 cup of pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • a handful of chopped walnuts or hazelnuts
  • maple syrup for serving
  • extra hot and dark coffee ;)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the flours, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk all to combine and set aside
  • In a separate bowl combine buttermilk, melted butter, pumpkin puree, and eggs whisk to combine.
  • Create a well in your dry ingredients, slowly pour in the wet ingredients. With a wooden spoon (not a whisk) slowly combine all the ingredients only mixing until the flour is incorporated. Do not overmix, your pancakes will be tough and flat.
  • The batter will be a little lumpy
  • Heat your griddle (or pan) over medium/low heat, melt a tbsp of butter and then add your batter. We find that our ΒΌ cup measuring cup is the perfect scoop and creates a great manageable size pancake.
  • Once you see bubbles begin to appear, carefully flip and finish cooking until golden brown on both sides.
  • To make the whipped maple brown butter
  • Add 4 tbsp of butter to a small pan over medium heat. Melt the butter until it begins to get bubbly and brown. Remove from heat and add the melted brown butter to the base of a stand mixer. Chill the bowl and butter in the fridge for about 30 minutes (it's easier to whip "chilled" butter versus hot melted butter).
  • Remove the base/butter from the fridge, add a pinch of salt and 4 tbsp of maple syrup. Add the bowl to your stand mixer and begin to mix on medium speed for about 30 seconds.
  • Scrape sides as necessary and continue mixing, increasing the speed to high, for about one minute, or until butter is nice and "whipped".
  • Transfer the butter to a serving dish.
  • To serve, create a stack of warm pancakes, top with the whipped maple brown butter, a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts, and serve with maple syrup
