Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 20 mins | Course: Breakfast | Serves: 5

Sourdough pumpkin pie spice pancakes studded with chocolate chips. A lovely taste of the Autumnal season. Inspired by Emily Christensen of Country Roads https://countryroadssourdough.com/sourdough-pumpkin-pancakes/ 

2 cups flour 

⅓ cup brown sugar 

1 Tablespoon baking powder 

½ teaspoon baking soda 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 Tablespoon pumpkin pie spice 

1 ½ cups milk 

½ cup sourdough starter 

1 cup pumpkin puree

1 egg

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon vanilla 

Whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl. Stir milk, sourdough starter, pumpkin puree, egg, olive oil, and vanilla together in a large Pyrex measurer or mixing bowl. Add to the dry ingredients and mix in with a rubber scraper until just incorporated. 

Measure 2-3 Tablespoons of batter (I use a cookie scoop) onto a preheated griddle or large skillet and fry in olive oil or butter over moderate heat. Cook about 2 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Serve with maple syrup and your favorite toppings.
