These fluffy pumpkin spice pancakes are a delightful twist on a breakfast classic, perfect for cozy mornings.
Crack the egg into a mixing bowl and whisk until frothy.
Whisking the egg well helps incorporate air, making the pancakes fluffier.
Add the flours, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt to the bowl.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the spices.
Pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.
Fold in the pumpkin puree gently.
Folding gently prevents overworking the batter, maintaining its fluffiness.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated to cook the pancakes uniformly.
Pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancake only once to keep it tender and fluffy.
Flip the pancake and cook for another minute until golden brown.
Pressing lightly on the pancake can help check if it's cooked through.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
