Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple syrup (for drizzling)
Powdered sugar (optional)
Cinnamon (optional)
Chopped nuts (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Preheat is crucial for achieving crispiness.
Coat the skillet with cooking spray or butter, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each stick, and shape it.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Continue cooking the remaining batter, keeping cooked sticks warm in a low oven.
Serve warm drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
