When it's time for breakfast I mostly think eggs or pancakes, today it's going to be pancake, but it's not the usual one. Gingerbread pancake flavored with cinnamon and ground ginger.
In my humble opinion, people love pancakes because not only it's fluffy and light like a cake, but you can change its flavor by drizzling it with your favorite syrup, honey, chocolate sauce, or even serve it with fruits. Oh, and let's not forget the butter.
To be creative with pancakes, all you have to do is think of it as a cake, every flavor you can add to a cake, you can add the same flavor or even ingredients in pancake. This Gingerbread pancake tastes like Gingerbread cookies.
You have to be careful when making the pancake batter, do not to over mix it, otherwise you won't get a fluffy and light pancake.
Gingerbread pancakes are not only delicious, but very light and go so well with any sauce or syrup you wish to use. Try it and tweak it to your liking, have fun with your breakfast 🙂

- In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Keep aside.
- In a different bowl, mix all the wet ingredients.
- Pour the dry ingredients on the wet, and whisk gently. Do not over mix, and if there are few lumps do not worry about them.
- Heat the pan (I used non-stick pan), add ¼ cup from the batter in the pan, keep the heat medium low.
- When bubbles appear on the top of the pancake and the bottom is light brown, flip the pancake and cook on the other side for one or two minutes.
- Serve hot, with your favorite toppings.

These look SO FABULOUS!!!! Quick question--do you grease the pan when you cook your pancakes? You have the perfectly even brown look to your pancakes that I want!!
munatycooking
Hi Erika, thanks for your kind comment 🙂 .. I use non-stick pan, and never grease it. I found that doing so cook the pancake evenly and give it a good texture too.
Erika
Ooh great to know! I've always greased my pans (even nonstick) but I'll have to try it your way!! Thanks 🙂
