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 unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened milk of choice (almond or oat recommended)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk them together until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened milk of choice until smooth.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Whisk gently until a smooth batter forms, making sure all the flour is incorporated without overmixing.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating the bottom is set.

- Serve: Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm topped with nuts, chocolate chips, and maple syrup for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet and medium-high heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without sticking.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
- You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves if desired.
- If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach desired consistency.
- These pancakes can be frozen after cooking and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
