These Sourdough Pumpkin Spice Pancakes are so soft and fluffy with the perfect amount of autumn spice. These pancakes are the perfect fall twist on a classic breakfast staple, made with delicious sourdough discard to add tang and beneficial fermented grains.

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice until combined. Set aside.
- In your blender, combine 1 cup pumpkin, 1/2 cup sourdough discard, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1 egg, 3 TBS coconut oil (melted), and 1 and 1/2 cup whole milk (room temp). Blend on high until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium/low heat. (If using an electric griddle, preheat it to 375°F (190°C).) Coat generously with butter or coconut oil. Make sure the pan is preheated sufficiently before dropping your batter on. If the pancakes don’t easily flip, your pan is not preheated well enough. Once it’s hot, drop/pour 1/4 cup of batter on the pan. Cook until the edges look set/there are small bubbles around the edges. This takes about 3-5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until cooked through, about 1–2 more minutes. Coat griddle/skillet with butter as needed.
- Keep pancakes warm in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven until all pancakes are cooked. Serve pancakes immediately with butter, pure maple syrup and nuts if desired.
- Cover and store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- I like to keep my cast iron pan on low while cooking these pancakes. It takes a little longer but they turn out better and I avoid the overly crisp outside with a still dough-ey inside.
- If you don’t have a cast iron skillet any nonstick pan or griddle will work
- If you do not have a blender, you can mix the wet ingredients with a hand mixer or in a kitchen aide stand mixer.
