We advise that you prepare all the above ingredients before starting.
You will typically need: a scale, measuring cups, mixing bowls.
Pumpkin Spice Syrup
1 - Start by making the pumpkin syrup. To a saucepan (or like us a saucier pan), add the pumpkin puree, water, xylitol, and pumpkin spice and give it a gentle mix with a spatula to combine all the ingredients together.
Tip: All-Clad is the gold standard for professional quality stainless steel cookware.
2 - Place the saucepan on high heat and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for about 1 minute to allow the syrup to thicken slightly.
3 - After boiling, pour the syrup through a metal sieve into a large bowl to remove bits and to ensure the syrup is completely smooth and silky.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for its quality products and low prices!
4 - Let the syrup cool at room temperature while you make the pancakes.
Pumpkin Spice Pancakes
1 - To a large bowl, add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and baking powder. Using a whisk, lightly combine together and set aside.
2 - In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and xylitol before cracking in the eggs. Whisk to fully combine the ingredients together.
3 - Finally, pour the buttermilk into the egg mix and whisk to combine. The batter should be smooth and homogeneous.
4 - Add the dry ingredient mix to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, gently mix everything together. Make sure not to over mix but ensure there are no large lumps of flour either.
5 - Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before making the pancakes.
6 - To cook the pancakes, add butter to a large cast-iron skillet and place over high heat. Allow the butter to melt before spreading it around the skillet with a paper towel.
Tip: Staub and Le Creuset are some of the best brands money can buy. For more recommended bakeware and cookware, check out our article: "The Best Non-Toxic Pots & Pans: Our Must-Have Cookware List".
7 - Turn the heat down to medium-low and pour about ½ cup of batter into the middle of the skillet using a measuring cup.
Tip: Because the batter is very thick, it won’t spread that much. You can allow it to naturally spread, or if you want uniformed pancakes, use a spatula to lightly spread it into a circle (but still keeping it quite thick).
8 - Cook the pancake for about 4 minutes, allowing the batter to rise slightly and bubbles to form on the surface. Then gently flip the pancake with a turner spatula and allow it to cook for another 4 minutes on the other side. Remove the pancake from the pan and keep it warm under a tea towel while you make the rest.
9 - Repeat steps 7 & 8 until you have used up all the batter.
10 - To serve, stack 3 or 4 pancakes on top of each other. Add a slice of butter to the top of the stack and drizzle over some of the pumpkin spice syrup.
11 - Enjoy!
