Ingredients
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice, and whisk them together until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, canned pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—a few lumps are fine.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
- Quickly fold in 1/2 cup of sprinkles, being careful not to stir too much or the colors may bleed.
- Cook the pancakes on a griddle or pan over low to medium heat. They will puff up but deflate slightly when you flip them; cook until golden on both sides, about 3 flips.
- Serve the pancakes topped with whipped cream and extra sprinkles for a festive finish.
