How to Make Light Pecan Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups Bisquick, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups milk (any kind), 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup maple syrup.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface and edges look set.
  7. Serve immediately, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons of extra chopped pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup (optional).
