1. MAKE THE PANCAKES. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin, eggs, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add both flours, the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined.

It's okay if the batter is a little lumpy, but if you feel like it's too thick, add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Let sit, uncovered, for 10 minutes at room temperature before proceeding. (Alternatively, you can cover and refrigerate it overnight.)

2. MEANWHILE, MAKE THE MAPLE BUTTER. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

3. Melt a bit of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.

Scoop a few ¼-cup portions of the batter into the skillet and use a spatula to spread and smooth them into rounds (3 or 4 should fit comfortably).

Sprinkle chocolate chips on top, then add a few banana slices (if using).

Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes, then use a spatula to gently flip each pancake. Cook on the second side until golden, about 1 minute more. Transfer the pancakes to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet if needed.

4. To serve, spread each pancake with a bit of maple butter, drizzle with maple syrup or honey, and top with banana slices (if using).
