What you need to make Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes:

For the pancakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup milk

1/4 cup pumpkin puree

1 egg

1 tablespoon melted butter

1 tablespoon brown sugar

For the cinnamon swirl:

1/4 cup softened butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

How to make it:

Prepare the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

Make the pancake batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a third bowl, combine the milk, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and brown sugar.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Cook the pancakes: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Immediately swirl the cinnamon mixture into the batter using a spoon or toothpick.

Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges are set. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, or whipped cream.

Tips:

Don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Gently stir the ingredients until just combined.

Let the batter rest for a few minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Cook the pancakes over medium heat. Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will ensure that they cook evenly without burning.
