Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes
These fluffy gingerbread pancakes taste just like a spiced holiday cake. They’re perfect for Christmas morning or anytime!
These are the perfect flavors for the holiday season and the texture of the waffles is lovely…. light and fluffy. I used whole wheat pastry flour, but these will totally work with regular whole wheat or all purpose flour. I bet they would even be great with spelt flour. Whole wheat pastry flour has been my flour of choice lately, it keeps the texture more true to what these would be like had I used all purpose flour. And don’t worry, these were picky kid approved. Even the elf got in on the action and made Madelyn some mini whole wheat gingerbread pancakes! She loved these because they were such a fun size and she ate them like finger food, dipping them into a little bowl of maple syrup.
Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour, I used whole wheat pastry flour.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons almond milk or other milk, I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix all wet ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well until there are no more dry spots; don't over mix.
- Lightly spray skillet with a natural cooking spray and pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the skillet. I was able to fit 2 pancakes in my skillet at a time.
- When bubbles in the pancake settle and the edges begin to darken, flip the pancakes. Repeat until all of the batter has been used.

These were delicious!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I’m so glad that you loved them! Thanks for the comment!
Can I come over for breakfast? 🙂 I’m so sorry the race was cancelled. I wonder why they aren’t rescheduling it. Hey, at least you now have a bit more time until February’s marathon. Perhaps you’ll even improve your pace ? 🙂
I wish you could come over for breakfast…. that would be so fun! A local running store decided to put on a small marathon, next Saturday for people that were signed up to run Dallas. I’m so excited!
Those pancakes look delish! I have a friend who was scheduled to run the Dallas Half Marathon and she is relieved that they made the “safe” decision for her. I live in Bend, Oregon where the temperature is currently -7 at 9pm. The high today was 9 degrees. There has been no running at all for the past week – I welcomed the break with some great R&R 🙂
If your friend is local to Texas, you might tell her that Fort Worth Running Company is putting on a small Marathon on Saturday for people that were signed up to run Dallas. I signed up and I’m so happy to put all of this training to use!
So sorry about the marathon being cancelled. These pancakes sound delicious! My favorites: cinnamon whole wheat.
Cinnamon whole wheat sounds fabulous….. kind of like snickerdoodle!
I’m so sorry to hear that the marathon was cancelled! I followed your determined training and I can understand that you are disapointed – though it’s good to hear you found another race in February!
Besides that, these pancakes sounds so hearty and I absolutely LOVE the tiny version of them!
I still plan on doing the February race, but a local running store announced that they are putting on a small marathon for those people signed up to run Dallas. It’s this Saturday… I can’t wait!
1) The recipe sounds great! I just need to buy some molasses
2) You have the most amazing attitude about your race being can canceled. This summer I was signed up to run a 10K in the Espirit de She and due to the heat index ( I think it was about 110 at the race time) they made everyone do the 5k- Needless to say it was the hardest 5k I’ve ever run! Hope things thaw soon– until then enjoy the family time!
Thanks for your sympathies! 😉 I have definitely enjoyed the family time!
These look so incredibly delicious!
Those mini pancakes are too stinkin’ cute!! 🙂
Yum! Again, these sound great! I love the Elf eating them too! We’ve been doing the Elf on the Shelf but not very creatively since we are in between houses. Random question, do you use a light box for your photos? They are always so good and I’ve been looking at getting something to brighten mine up.
I definitely have uncreative nights too! I don’t have a light box, but I would really like to make one. It seems like the blogger from Kiss my Broccoli had a light box tutorial some time ago. I have a table in front of a window and I use Picmonkey to edit. The Boost and Curve options are my go to editing tools on picmonkey. I think those are only available for the full pay option. Thanks so much for the compliment… I’ve really been working at trying to get them to look better.
Mmm! This would be an awesome breakfast for Christmas morning!
That’s what I was thinking!
These would seriously make my morning! Come cook for me? Please??
Awww… if only I were a little closer, I sure would, especially if I got to play with your little guy!
