Pumpkin Spice Buckwheat Pancakes: A Fall Flavor Explosion

Introduction

Fall is in the air, and what better way to celebrate the season than with a delicious and comforting breakfast? These Pumpkin Spice Buckwheat Pancakes combine the nutty flavor of buckwheat with the warm, cozy taste of pumpkin, making them the perfect autumnal treat.

Ingredients:

    • 1 cup buckwheat flour
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon  
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 egg

Instructions:

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.

  2. Add wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until well combined.

  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

  5. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of cinnamon sugar.

Tips:

  • For a thicker pancake, let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • To make these pancakes gluten-free, use gluten-free buckwheat flour and all-purpose flour.
  • If you don't have pumpkin puree, you can make your own by roasting a pumpkin and pureeing the flesh.
  • These pancakes are also delicious served with fruit, such as blueberries or applesauce.
