In a bowl, combine milk, pumpkin, egg, oil, and vanilla. Mix to combine.
In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, spice and salt. Stir
Combine two mixtures and stir until just combined. Don't over stir.
Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Add a little oil to pan if needed and scoop the batter onto the griddle (about 1/4 cup each pancake)
Serve with maple syrup or cinnamon syrup and chopped pecans.
Notes
Buttermilk Substitute:You can use regular milk in your pumpkin pancakes but you can also make your own buttermilk by adding 1 Tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Allow to sit for a few minutes and it will begin to curdle.
