Gingerbread Pancakes; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

I am OBSESSED with my gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free homemade pancake mix. I created it a few years ago when i decided that gluten free pancake mixes and gluten free bisquick are ridiculously expensive (why are they so expensive?) and I wouldn’t spend money on them anymore. I have been using it multiple times per week since then. Seriously,  we go through a ton of it each month. Ive been really obsessed with creating new types of flavored pancakes too. Why? Because it’s fun, it’s hard to go wrong, and my 1 year old loves to accompany his fruit with a pankcake or 2 (when I say fruit I mean 3 mandarin oranges like he had yesterday or a banana, apple, and strawberries like he had the day prior- the kid loves fruit!)

I love situational cooking (and dressing btw), with the holidays quickly approaching I decided I wanted to create a Christmas-y pancake recipe. What are some of my favorite Christmas-y flavors? Cranberries…no….peppermint…definitely good but not what I’m looking for….gingerbread?  Yes! Sounds like it’ll be perfect!  Like my Apple Fritter pancakes, these are sweet enough with the molasses that they don’t need any additional syrup. I couldn’t believe how much my 1 year old loves them too (he actually chose to eat gingerbread pancakes over the chocholate chip ones). So you know, this post might include some affiliate links.

Gingerbread Pancakes; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 cup + 1 tbsp homemade gf pancake mix
1 cup coconut milk
1 egg
2 tbsp Organic Coconut Oil
2 tbsp Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Blackstrap Molasses
1 1/2 tsp Organic Cinnamon Ground
3/4 tsp Organic Ginger Root Ground
1/4 tsp Organic Cloves Ground

Earth Balance Organic Coconut Spread (or butter if you can have it) for cooking the pancakes

Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Powdered Sugar(optional) for dusting

Mix all of your ingredients together in a medium sized mixing bowl. Melt a tbsp of butter/cooking spread in a medium saute pan over medium/low heat. Drop dollops of you batter into the pan and cook over medium/low heat for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Don’t turn up the heat and be sure to watch your cakes because the sugars in this will burn easily. Flip and cook for an additional minute. If you’re feeling really festive, dust lightly with powdered sugar (but honestly they don’t need it at all).
