In a mixing bowl whisk together the pancake mix with the pumpkin pie spice and salt; set aside.

In a separate bowl whisk together the pumpkin butter, buttermilk, egg, butter an sugar until completely smooth.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to mix well.

Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat. Drop a thin pat of butter onto the pan and spread it around to coat. Scoop the batter by ¼ cup full onto the pan and cook until bubbles start to form and the pancake is set on the bottom, flip and cook a little longer until both sides are golden brown.

Repeat until all batter has been used.

Serve with a sprinkle of toasted pecans, coconut bacon and warm maple syrup.

Chef's Note: Don't have the time to make your own pumpkin butter? Trader Joe's sells jars of it this time of year. Do yourself a favor though and grab a couple of them because they sell out fast!
