1. Place the flour in a large bowl. Crumble the brown sugar and distribute over flour. Add baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Stir to blend with a whisk. Preheat the Cuisinart™ Griddler™ in the open griddle position to 350°F.

2. Place the pumpkin, eggs, and milk in a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk to blend. Add to the dry mixture and stir. Stir in the melted butter and pecans.

3. When the Griddler™ is hot (indicator light will go off) drop the batter onto the Griddler using a scant quarter cup measure. Bake the pancakes for 3 to 4 minutes, when pancakes are bubbling on the top, turn and bake for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Pumpkin Pecan Pancakes are best served hot. Pancakes can be kept warm by placing them on a rack on a baking sheet in a slow (175-200°F) oven while baking the remainder. Serve with warm syrup and butter as desired.
