Can we pause for a minute and look at that honey dripping down those pancakes? Amazing. I love nothing more than good honey.

In fact, my grandpa used to make honey when he was still alive and his was the absolutely best ever.

But on an entirely different note:

What am I doing posting a Gingerbread Pancake recipe on Thanksgiving?

Ridiculous, I know. But I’ve done something else for you instead: I compiled the best leftovers recipes into a nice list, ready for all your T-Day food you can’t finish tonight!

But now back to those pancakes and fast forward to Christmas!

Remember the Gingerbread Spice Mix recipe I shared with you last week?

Apart from the perfect gingerbread cookies I wanted to bring more uses for all that spice mix to you guys!

And what better to make than lovely, fluffy and super soft pancakes!

I know that Christmas morning breakfasts are all about overnight casseroles and the such but hear me out!

I said at some point that it would probably be a while until I’d make pancakes again.

But then I decided I had to create a super easy recipe to whip some up because I just couldn’t wait any longer.

And thus the Gingerbread Pancakes Which Are Perfect for Christmas Morning were born.

When I first tested the recipe I wanted to make them into gingerbread man shapes because how cute?!

Yes, it’s totally something I saw on Pinterest (by the way, are we Pinterest friends yet?).

And while it did work somehow it was neither as cute as I had hoped it would be nor was it any kind of fun to scrape dried pancake batter off a gingerbread man cookie cutter.

So I decided to instead leave them in their traditional pancake shape and save some time with the clean-up!

And really, if I can make them with a three month old who ideally wants to spend all her time in mommy’s arms I’m sure it will be easy-peasy for you to serve them to your family on Christmas morning!

Top them with butter, some runny honey and a sprinkling of cinnamon and believe you me – you will know Christmas has arrived!

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Gingerbread Spice Mix or use any blend of spices mentioned in the spice mix recipe
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients well. Whisk the wet ingredients together in a measuring jug and pour into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined - a few lumps are fine.

      Thanks Jess! Aww that’s such a cute story! You can make them into gingerbread shapes with cookie cutters but it’s really not much fun to do, haha!

    I am in serious awe of how you are able to post anything with a three-month old! I also do a lot of 1-handed tasks, and mine is a year. I have a very strong left arm, ha ha! These pancakes look amazing, and I bet your house smells amazing 🙂
