Gingerbread Pancakes

Print Recipe

Deliciously spiced gingerbread pancakes perfect for Christmas breakfast or a wintery weekend brunch. These pancakes are light, fluffy, and full of warm holiday flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup (190ml) milk
  • ¼ cup (65g) melted butter, plus more for cooking
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt with a whisk.
  2. In a smaller bowl, mix together the melted butter, molasses, eggs, milk, and vanilla essence.
  3. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Fold the batter together with a wooden spoon until you can no longer see any dry ingredients.
  4. Heat a heavy-based pan (like cast iron) over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter to the pan.
  5. Pour ⅓ cup of batter per pancake into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
  6. Serve the pancakes stacked high with butter and maple syrup.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes. Adjust the amount of molasses for a stronger gingerbread flavor. These pancakes freeze well and can be reheated for a quick breakfast.
