Preparation

Step 1 - 🥣🍂🧂

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
Step 2 - 🤲🥛🥚

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 3 - 🤝🥣💦

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix as it can result in tough pancakes.
Step 4 - 🔥🍳

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and grease with a small amount of butter or oil.

Using a 1/4 measuring cup or ice cream scoop, pour the pancake batter on the griddle, spacing the pancakes a few inches apart. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6 - 🍁🍯🌰

Serve with maple syrup and chopped pecans on top.
