# How to make it:

01 - Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat together canned pumpkin puree, eggs, whole milk, melted unsalted butter, molasses, and vanilla extract until smooth and blended.

06 - Flip pancakes and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
07 - Continue preparing pancakes with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
