Gingerbread Pancakes {Perfect for Christmas Morning!}

The best soft and fluffy Gingerbread Pancake recipe! This is perfect for breakfast on Christmas morning because they are super quick and easy to make! You will love those pancakes that taste like gingerbread cookies!

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!
