Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Pumpkin spice can be used if cinnamon is unavailable.
  • 1/3 cup molasses Honey can be used as a substitute, but it will differ in flavor.
  • 1 cup milk Almond milk serves as a great dairy-free option.
  • 1 large egg For a vegan alternative, consider using a flax egg.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Gingerbread Pancakes
  1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl: flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, molasses, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Preheat the skillet on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then grease lightly.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm with maple syrup and optional toppings like powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
