Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour

6 Tbsp. packed brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

3/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 tsp salt

1 2/3 cups buttermilk

3/4 cup canned solid pack pumpkin

3 large eggs

2 Tbsp butter, melted

4 Tbsp butter

Pure maple syrup

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Mix first 8 ingredients together in a large bowl to blend. Whisk buttermilk, pumpkin, eggs, vanilla and melted butter in medium bowl until well-blended. Add to dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.

Melt 1 Tbsp butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into skillet. Cook pancakes until bubbles form on top and bottoms are golden brown, about 2 1/2 minutes. Turn pancakes over. Cook until bottoms are brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet; place in over to keep warm up to 20 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to skillet as necessary for each batch.

Serve with maple syrup.
