Step 1
In a big bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, pumpkin, and oil until everything’s combined. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ones and stir gently until just mixed—don’t overdo it, a few lumps are okay.

Step 2
Heat up a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Before they start cooking, press chocolate chips into the batter to create little jack-o-lantern faces.

Step 3
Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles forming on the surface, then carefully flip them over. Let them cook on the other side until they’re golden brown—this usually takes around 5 minutes per side. Serve warm and enjoy!

Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them gently in a toaster or microwave to keep them soft. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes separated by parchment paper and thaw before reheating.
