Slow weekend mornings sipping on coffee are my jam and my Sunday would have been a lot cozier with a stack of these pancakes 😍 Gingerbread spices + molasses in pancakes sounds absolutely heavenly and I’m so glad we’re shopping tomorrow because I’m out of applesauce!! Can’t wait to make these ❤️
P.S. – these photos are stunning, Natalie!
Since impromptu runs to whole foods for that one ingredient are out right now, I admire your pancake patience😂 But I hope you still had a cozy sunday with lots of warm beverages and baking involved either way! I had so much fun shooting these photos too, my little christmas tree is now officially a photo prop🎄🤗
I adore pancake Sundays ❤️ And these were very much enjoyed today! Next time I have to double the batch so Willow has leftovers for the next day! Two big thumbs up from Willow and she wanted me to tell you that she “really liked the taste!” She seriously loves all things gingery so this was a big win! I managed to steal a couple of them for myself and while I didn’t have any fruit to top it with, I did have yogurt and chopped pecans…and of course maple syrup 😍 these were delicious and I can’t wait to make them again! Hope you had a great weekend 😘

YESSSSSSS🤗🤗 It means so much to me when a recipe is Willow approved! I am so happy you guys tried them and hopefully had the coziest sunday to follow. My go-to fruit toppings for pancakes are always berries and since those are very not in season right now my stacks haven’t been as fruity either. But hey more room for syrup😂 Thanks for the review Mandy, and happy monday❤️
What about buckwheat spices pancakes topped with sliced persimmons and a layer of tahini-molasse-ginger spread? But I’ll forget the slow lazy mornings….kids never allow me that threat! I most be ready to play and cook more pancakes at 6 am!
Oh my goodness that sounds amazing too!Hop you can find a chance to make it happen amidst all your craziness😆
Made these 3 or 4 times in the past two weeks, so you could say I like them 🙂 They are seriously so delicious, and I like that they aren’t too sweet (I don’t use maple syrup). I also bake them in the oven instead of on the stove and really like how they turn out! Great recipe!!
YAY!! Never too many stacks of festive fluffy pancakes🤗 I am so happy you love them, and great idea on the oven option! I will have to try that, sounds super easy. Happy holidays❤️🎄
I have been Jonesing for ginger bread for awhile. Unfortunately, I am the only gingerbread lover in this house so I didn’t want to make one.
Was ecstatic to find this recipe.
It satisfied my craving perfectly.
YAY!! I am so happy they hit the spot Lisa🤗 I am the only gingerbread lover in my family too, so I know the struggle ha😆
Does this batter need to sit before frying like your fluffy pancake recipe?
5-10 minutes will make it thicker which leads to puffier pancakes, just be sure to cook them really low and slow if you do let it sit/thicken so the centers aren’t mushy!
Great addition to our slow Saturday pancake breakfasts!! I was a little afraid the molasses would be overwhelming but followed the recipe exactly to give it a chance. They were delicious, topped with pumpkin butter, coconut yogurt and maple syrup! Thank you so much for making our breakfasts healthier and more delicious!
