Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes

// 13 Comments

Please forgive me.  I’m sure you’re done with Christmas.

It didn’t hit me until two nights ago when I was driving around looking at Christmas lights that I missed the holiday season this year.  Between moving and personal issues I let Christmas come and go with barely a second thought.  Sure I bought a few gifts and put up a small (and by small I mean 2′) tree.  But overall, I just wasn’t in the holiday spirit.

I mean, I didn’t even make sugar cookies this year!

The morning after realizing I had missed the holiday season, I of course woke up craving gingerbread.

So I did what any other person would have done: made pancakes.

These were so good that they become a regular thing.  Gingerbread doesn’t have to be confined to the holiday season!  I love the flavor of the whole wheat, ginger, and molasses.

The perfect pancake for a cold winter’s morning (even if we still don’t have snow.)

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season!  I know I will be enjoying more now that I’m all moved and settled!

    These look delicious any time of year :D I don’t make pancakes nearly often enough. My husband doesn’t like any different flavors in his pancakes he just likes plain buttermilk ones. I need to try something like these just for myself :D

    I love pancakes with gingerbread spices. They look lovely with this butter on top :) It’s not only flavor of Christmas, I was making similar ones this summer ^^

    This is awesome. Did you use golden syrup or honey to serve?

    I just found your web site. I love it!!! My dad does wonderful sourdough pancakes. I can’t wait to challenge him with this gingerbread pancake recipe. Sounds very yummy! FYI: When on a very strick budget and unable to afford real maple syrup (the cheaper syrups are simply no good), I will saute ripe bananas with butter, sugar and vanilla extract. So, instead of letting those bananas rot on the counter, stick them in the freezer for days like this (the riper the better). Makes a great hot syrupy topping.
