These wonderful homemade gingerbread pancakes are sure to be a fall favorite! Each bite has the flavors that remind me of the holiday season like cinnamon, ginger, allspice and molasses.
You can serve them for a Christmas or Thanksgiving brunch, weekday breakfast or breakfast for dinner, like we do at our house!
Breakfast for dinner has always been a favorite of mine!
I've always been a night owl and never got up super early to make a good, hearty breakfast. And now with baby Hazel, I sleep in as late as possible, so breakfast for lunch or dinner isa regular thing.
My daughter, Ella is a pancake lover, but only regular, plain pancakes. My boyfriend and I are much more adventurous when it comes to food, so these pancakes were right up our alley!
These pancakes are delicious topped with butter, almonds, whipped cream, caramel drizzle or maple syrup! You can add in chocolate chips, bananas, nuts, vanilla or even almond extract to jazz it up every time you make them.
What are the ingredients in this recipe?
- all-purpose flour
- brown sugar
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- ground cinnamon
- ground ginger
- ground allspice
- butter
- eggs
- molasses (not blackstrap)
- milk
- slivered almonds, maple syrup or butter, for topping
Recipe tips:
- Make it dairy-free: Use your favorite non-dairy milk and non-dairy butter
- Like less sweet pancakes? Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- Have extra pancakes? Freeze in an airtight container for up to a month
- Check the freshness of your baking powder. If your baking powder is old or expired, you’ll end up with flat pancakes, not light and fluffy ones
- If you don't have molasses, you can substitute honey instead
- Wipe out the pan between batches
- I personally believe that pancakes should always be fried in butter. The one problem with frying your pancakes in butter is that the butter will eventually burn in the skillet. To avoid any off-tasting or burned bits, just wipe the skillet clean and add a dab more butter between batches
