Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

For Cooking and Serving

  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus more for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to ensure even distribution of all flavors.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, canned pumpkin puree, egg, sugar, vanilla extract, and softened cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adding richness to the batter.
  3. Heat Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil. Ensure the surface is hot but not smoking to prevent burning the pancakes.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  5. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side until golden brown, adjusting heat as needed.
  6. Repeat Cooking: Continue cooking the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm on a plate.
  7. Serve: Stack pancakes on a plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and optionally top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for presentation and extra flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to blend smoothly into the batter.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a little extra milk to reach desired consistency.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for best results.
  • To keep pancakes warm, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (about 200°F or 95°C) while finishing cooking the rest.
  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version, though the cream cheese flavor will be unique.
