In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 more minutes.
Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
