Instructions
- Whisk together in a big bowl – flour, coconut or brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice (if you want that extra kick).
- In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry, stirring until just mixed.
- For the cinnamon swirl, mix softened butter, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tbsp of pancake batter in a small bowl.
- Transfer the mixture to a small plastic baggie, cut a small corner, and use it to swirl the cinnamon mixture into each pancake.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the skillet for each pancake.
- Gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the pancake with the piping bag, ensuring it blends into the batter.
- Flip the pancake when bubbles appear, and cook until golden on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon swirl.
- Serve warm with extra butter, maple syrup, or a simple glaze if you’d like. Enjoy your delightful homemade pancakes!
