Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

4 oz cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For Garnish:

Maple syrup

Whipped cream (optional)

Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pancake Batter:

    - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

      - In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.

        - Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.

          Cook the Pancakes:

            - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

              - Pour about 2 tablespoons of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

                - Repeat until all the batter is used. You should have about 12 small pancakes.

                  Make the Cream Cheese Filling:

                    - In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.

                      Assemble the Sandwich Bites:

                        - Take one pancake and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling on the flat side. Top it with another pancake to create a sandwich.

                          - Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling to form bite-sized sandwiches.

                            Serve and Garnish:

                              - Arrange the pancake sandwiches on a serving platter. Drizzle with maple syrup and add whipped cream and chopped nuts on top if desired.
