Christmas breakfast is a big deal around here.
Waking up on Christmas morning to the delicious smell of breakfast was almost as exciting as seeing all the beautiful presents under the tree.
Now that we are older, this breakfast has become our favorite part. We love spending the morning together and enjoying delicious food together before we open presents.
These Gingerbread Pancakes will definitely be on the table this year, and I can hardly wait.
could i make this recipe with pancake mix?
You could make this recipe with pancake mix, then combine the wet ingredients listed in the directions, however, we don’t recommend it.
We have found this recipe works best when made from scratch. They get a weird texture when you try and make this with pancake mix, so we recommend using flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and following the recipe from there.
what are the best toppings to put on Pancakes?
I am a toppings girl, all the way. It’s not breakfast or any dish, if it doesn’t have toppings. I have a lot of favorite pancake toppings, so here are a few of the best:
-Cinnamon and Sugar. I love spreading a little butter on my pancakes, then sprinkling it with cinnamon and sugar. You can also spread a little frosting glaze over it as well.
-Fruit and Whipped Cream. This is a pancake classic. It is also super easy to add to any pancake dish.
-Nutella and Strawberries. Have you ever dipped a strawberry in Nutella? Well prepare to have your life changed. It is delicious, but add it to pancakes, and it becomes a dream come true.
-Strawberries, Bananas and Powdered Sugar. This is also a pancake classic, because it is simple, inexpensive, and tastes amazing. All you need is some syrup, and breakfast is served.
what do I serve with Pancakes?
If you are looking for side dishes to serve with this recipe, we have a few ideas for you, that you are going to love.
I love making this recipe and serving it with fresh fruit. If you are looking for a fresh fruit salad, try our Greek Yogurt Fruit Salad.
We also love serving this with a fresh drink. When we make this for Christmas breakfast, we love serving it with our Warm Instant Pot Apple Cider.
If you are looking to go really festive, we like to serve our leftover ham with these waffles. Our favorite ham is our Slow Cooker Honey Baked Ham recipe.
