    About Gingerbread Pancakes

    These Fluffy Gingerbread Pancakes are light and soft and will remind you of gingerbread cookies. These are surely a treat for your tastebuds, that you will not be able to resist!

    I used my old-fashioned pancake batter and spiked it with warm winter spices and molasses to make this holiday favorite breakfast.

    These come together in under 30 minutes using simple ingredients. Double or triple the gingerbread pancake recipe if making for a crowd.

    Ingredients

    Flour – Classic pancakes are made using all-purpose flour as it makes them soft and fluffy. You can use healthy alternatives such as whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the texture will be a little dense as compared to the all-purpose flour ones.

    Spices – The addition of warm spices (gingerbread spices)such as ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves gives these pancakes warm winter flavors.

    Molasses – Gingerbread pancakes are sweetened with blackstrap molasses. It gives them a very earthy and smoky flavor.

    No molasses? Just replace it with dark brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup.

    Others – You will also need baking powder, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, milk (full-fat milk, skim milk, or plant-based milk), eggs, and unsalted butter.

    Variations – You can add chocolate chips, orange zest, and nuts like walnuts, pecans, etc to the pancake mix.

    You can replace the gingerbread spices with pumpkin pie spice too.
