Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Pancakes are the ultimate fall breakfast! Fluffy pumpkin spice pancakes swirled with buttery cinnamon sugar — like a pumpkin cinnamon roll in pancake form.

Instructions
Make the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
In another bowl, mix pumpkin purée, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined (don’t overmix—some lumps are fine).
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the skillet.
Swirl a tablespoon-sized amount of the cinnamon sugar mixture on the pancake and gently work it in. I used a plastic bag to pipe the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the pancake and a toothpick to work it in!
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes). Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
