Gingerbread Cookie Pancakes Recipes

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices.
• In a separate bowl, whisk milk, molasses, eggs, melted butter, fresh ginger and lemon zest until well combined.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until combined. (A few small lumps are fine.)
• Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop the pancakes into the pan by the quarter cup, making sure to leave plenty of room in between for the batter to expand.
• Cook until the batter bubbles on the surface and browns on the bottom, a minute or two, then carefully flip. Cook until the batter is completely cooked through and the pancakes are slightly dark brown. Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve pancakes as you make them or keep them warm as you cook them by setting them on a baking sheet in a 250-degree oven.

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until well combined. Stir in the buttermilk and coffee.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently, just until combined. You will have some lumps remaining. Stir in the melted butter.
• If you'd like to keep different batches of pancakes warm, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a griddle or sturdy skillet over medium-low heat. Coat the skillet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking, then ladle 1/2 cup batter (for large pancakes) or 1/4 cup batter (for smaller pancakes) into the pan and begin cooking. Because these pancakes are whole wheat, they cook more slowly. Flip when the edges of the pancake are no longer shiny and some bubbling forms on top, about 4-5 minutes for large pancakes or 2-3 for smaller ones. Continue cooking on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve the cooked pancakes immediately or keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
• For the maple cream cheese topping: In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and Greek yogurt on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla and mix again. Add 2 tablespoons milk to thin the batter. Taste and add additional maple syrup if you desire a sweeter topping. If you desire a thinner consistency, continue adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time, until the topping is as thick as you like. Serve with warm pancakes.

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES WITH ICING

Steps:

• For the pancakes: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cloves. In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, molasses, brown sugar, orange zest and egg. Slowly add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. It is ok if the batter is a little lumpy. Do not overmix or you will have tough pancakes. (Let the batter sit for at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes for fluffier pancakes.)
• For the icing: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and milk. Set aside.
• Grease a griddle or nonstick skillet with butter and heat to medium high. Pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. When small bubbles begin to form on the tops of the pancakes, after 2 to 3 minutes, flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the pancakes immediately with the icing and garnish with sprinkles and whipped cream if desired.

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Combine buttermilk, egg, molasses and oil; add to dry ingredients and mix well. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubble form on top of pancake. Cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup and whipped cream if desired.

WHOLE WHEAT GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you're using an electric griddle, go ahead and preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
• In a smaller bowl, combine the milk, egg, molasses, maple syrup, butter and vanilla extract (if you're using coconut oil and it solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, just warm the mixture in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds, until it melts again, or let the mixture rest for a few minutes in a warm place). Whisk until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Pour into the flour mixture and stir just until the mixture is incorporated and no big lumps of flour remain.
• If you're not using an electric griddle, heat a stovetop griddle, cast-iron pan or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. It's hot enough when a drop of water sizzles against the pan. If necessary, grease the pan with a pat of butter or non-stick cooking spray (my griddle is non-stick so I didn't use any).
• Give the bowl one more stir and pour 1/3 cup batter into the pan (if at any point the batter becomes too thick, just stir in a tiny splash of milk). Wait until the outer 1/2″ of the pancake is no longer shiny, then flip it with a spatula. Cook on the opposite sides for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve the cooked pancake immediately or keep warm in an oven set to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Repeat with remaining pancakes, adjusting heat as necessary to achieve pancakes that are cooked through and golden brown on both sides.

GINGERBREAD PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and allspice.
• In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and molasses together.
• Stir wet ingredients into flour mixture, just until moistened, leaving it a little lumpy.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and oil it lightly or coat with a small amount of shortening.
• Add batter, approx 1/4 cup at a time to the griddle, but do not crowd.
• Cook until bubbles appear and edges begin to brown, then turn them and cook the other side until lightly browned on the bottom.
• Transfer cooked pancakes to a platter and keep warm until all are cooked.
• Serve with chunky applesauce or apple pie filling and whipped cream, if desired; also goes good with poached pears.

GINGERBREAD COOKIE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, gingerbread cookie crumbs, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs until foamy and light, then whisk in the milk, melted butter and molasses. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just incorporated.
• Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a pat of butter and swirl to melt. When the butter is sizzling, ladle 1/4 cup batter into the center of the pan. Cook on one side until bubbles form and pop and the surface near the edges looks dry. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more on the second side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve warm with maple syrup and/or whipped cream.
