In a mediumbowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and oil; set aside.
Combine the pancake mix flour, brown sugar, pumpkin spice mix, and chocolate chips in a separate large bowl.
Stir into the pumpkin mixture just enough to combine, do not over-mix the batter. Taste the batter to insure it has enough spice.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot with your favorite pancake syrup. Pancakes freeze well for up to 6 weeks.
Notes
Instead of pumpkin pie spice, you may use 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice.
