These Harvest Pancakes are a delicious seasonal twist on traditional pancakes, made with pumpkin, warm spices, and a touch of vanilla. The pumpkin adds a beautiful golden color and subtle richness, while cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger bring the flavors of fall to the breakfast table.
They come together in about 20 minutes, making them easy enough for a weekday breakfast but special enough for a weekend brunch. Serve them warm with butter and maple syrup for a comforting breakfast the whole family will enjoy. For a little extra fall flavor, use pumpkin pie spice in place of the individual spices.

- Pour the batter onto the hot griddle, using slightly less than ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
