Flour Note: For the lightest, fluffiest, cheapest pancakes, use all-purpose flour. I use whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose in my baking for a touch of heartiness.
Pumpkin Note: This amount of pumpkin keeps them light and fluffy, but offers a very mild pumpkin flavor. For more pumpkin goodness, you can increase it to ½ cup, but the pancakes will be more moist and less fluffy.
Vegan Option: Omit the egg and egg whites. Beat ¼ cup
aquafaba with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gently but quickly fold the aquafaba into your pancake batter per the egg white step. Optionally increase the baking powder to 2⅛ teaspoon for a little extra lift.
