Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 4 teaspoons white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 0.33333334326744 cup canned pumpkin
• 0.5 cup milk, or more as needed
• 2 tablespoons pecan pieces, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Stir flour, pumpkin, egg, sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl until well mixed; the mixture will be thick and chunky. Add baking powder and stir until evenly distributed. Slowly pour in 1/4 cup milk while stirring; mix until all liquid is absorbed. Add more milk and stir until batter is smooth and firm, yet flows off the spoon; a wooden spoon inserted into the mixture will stand, but batter will flow when poured. Mix in pecans.

Step 2

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until edges are dry, 1 to 2 minutes; flip and cook on the other side until edges are firm, another 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Place a pat of butter on each pancake as they are removed from the skillet and transferred to a plate. Sift confectioners' sugar on top.
