Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. This is your gingerbread pancake dry mix.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, molasses, egg, and melted butter to create the wet ingredients for your gingerbread pancake batter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix the gingerbread pancake batter.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the gingerbread pancake batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the gingerbread pancakes when bubbles appear on the surface.
- Serve your delicious gingerbread pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For gluten-free gingerbread pancakes, substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- For vegan gingerbread pancakes, use a plant-based milk and a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes) and omit the butter or use vegan butter.
- Adjust the spices to your preference for a spicier gingerbread pancake.
- Serve with whipped cream, maple syrup, or fresh berries.
