Description

Warm, spiced gingerbread pancakes with rich molasses flavor, perfect for cozy winter mornings or festive holiday breakfasts.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for cooking)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, molasses, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 minutes.
  7. Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute buttermilk for regular milk for a tangier flavor.
  • These pancakes freeze well—reheat in a toaster or oven.
