Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla, and egg.
  3. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in the pumpkin and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Let batter rest while preheating the griddle.
  5. Heat griddle to medium and spray with cooking spray. Scoop 1/4 cup batter per pancake and top with additional chocolate chips.
