These gingerbread pancakes taste just like everyone's favorite gingerbread cookies but in the form of pancakes! SO DELICIOUS.

Drizzled with some old fashioned Molasses on top this is simply the best! There is something so hearty and comforting about gingerbread pancakes drizzled with molasses! Yes forget maple syrup just for today! You will love it.

FAQs

Can I make Vegan Gingerbread Pancakes?

I haven't tried making Vegan Gingerbread Pancakes ever so I cannot say for sure how to make those. However you can try these Vegan Healthy Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes with Almond Flour as an alternative and add some spices from this recipe to infuse it with gingerbread flavors.

Can I make this with Almond Flour or Coconut Flour?

I haven't tried making the same recipe with Almond flour. However use this recipe for Almond Flour Pancakes and include the spices to make Gluten Free Almond Flour Gingerbread Pancakes.

Top Tips to make the Best Gingerbread Pancakes

  • Make sure you add only the mentioned amount of spices for a balanced taste
  • Grease the girdle with butter before adding the pancake batter
  • Preheat the girdle to 375 F before use
  • Add the Molasses only in the end to make the batter
  • The Pancake batter should be thin but let it sit for 5 min and it will thicken.
  • If you do not like Molasses then skip it and use maple syrup to drizzle on top.
