Jump to Recipe

Wake up to a festive Christmas breakfast with this delicious Gingerbread Pancakes recipe. They’re homemade and EASY to put together. You’ll taste all of the wonderful flavors of traditional gingerbread: ginger, cinnamon and molasses. You can prepare the batter ahead of time and make your pancakes in the morning. Fresh off the griddle, your family will be asking for a second helping.

Christmas Breakfast Recipe: These homemade gingerbread pancakes are EASY and delicious. You can make the batter ahead of time and serve them fresh off the griddle.

Gingerbread is such a classic holiday flavor. The smell of gingerbread pancakes, cooking on the griddle, makes your kitchen smell amazing. You’ll taste the ginger and molasses, along with the touch of cinnamon. I like to make these all throughout the holiday season. However, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and then serve fresh.

Looking for other Christmas breakfast recipes? I love a classic Overnight Brunch Casserole with hash browns, bacon and sausage. Another great way to enjoy the flavor of gingerbread is with Gingerbread Waffles. 

How To Make Homemade Gingerbread Pancakes

Our whole family loves this recipe. You can make the ginger flavor a bit more strong, if you prefer, but it’s mild enough that kids love eating them too. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, our family starts to enjoy these pancakes. If we have a Christmas outing, like picking out our Christmas tree, I make a festive breakfast to kick off the day.

What To Serve With Gingerbread Pancakes

I like to serve them fresh off the griddle and individually plate them. We’ll put a bunch off toppings in the center for people to add. On the side, I’ll make sausage links, bacon and eggs too. Here are some awesome topping ideas:

  • Fresh Whipped Cream
  • Apple Pie Filling
  • Dried Cranberries
  • Orange Zest
  • Maple Syrup
  • Brown Sugar
  • Butter
  • Powdered Sugar

How To Prepare Gingerbread Pancakes Batter Ahead

Pancakes are best when they’re hot. Sure you can reheat pancakes, but that isn’t the same. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together to create a batter. Keep the batter in the refrigerator overnight. Stir again in the morning and let it sit for a few minutes while the griddle warms. Then make your pancakes fresh and hot!

What You’ll Need From The Grocery Store

  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking Powder
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Ground Ginger
  • Ground Allspice
  • Egg
  • Milk
  • Molasses
  • Canola Oil
  • Non-Stick Cooking Spray

Step-By-Step Instructions To Make Your Pancakes 

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a smaller bowl, combine the egg, milk, molasses and oil.
