Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (can be canned or homemade)

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (with extra for cooking)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling)

Optional toppings: chopped pecans, whipped cream, or more maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Batter:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk together until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

      Mix Wet Ingredients:

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, pumpkin puree, egg, and melted butter until you have a smooth mixture.

          Combine Ingredients:

            Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. It's okay to leave a few small lumps in the batter.

              Cook the Pancakes:

                Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, then add a small amount of butter to coat the surface. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look slightly set. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

                  Make the Cream Cheese Filling:

                    In a small bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the maple syrup until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if desired.

                      Assemble the Sandwiches:

                        Take one pancake and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling on the flat side. Place another pancake on top to create a sandwich. Repeat this assembly until all the pancakes are filled and stacked.

                          Serve:

                            For easy eating, cut each pancake sandwich into halves or quarters. Drizzle with extra maple syrup and sprinkle with chopped pecans, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent touch.

                              Enjoy!:

                                Serve these delightful Pumpkin Pancake Sandwich Bites warm for the best flavor experience.
