Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes

November 19, 2014 by Dana

I am telling you…these Gingerbread Pancakes totally exceeded my pancake expectations! So much so that I’ve made them for my kids 3 times in the last week. You know, because I just love hearing the words “We want pancakes” before I even step foot out of bed! #mommyproblems

I just read a meme that said “Honesty trumps sugar-coated bullshit.” YES! This is exactly how I feel today as I’m writing this because truth is, I am having major technical issues. Scratch that. I’m having massive technical issues. The kind of issues that warrant taking my computer outside with a shotgun, or maybe a baseball bat. Either way, I have no idea what is wrong with my computer and it is driving me insane! Meltdown anyone?

These computer issues also warrant a big coffee, a good cry, and some chocolate. You know, because there’s nothing chocolate can’t fix, right? But seriously, if you don’t see any new posts this week just know that I’m undergoing massive reboots and techie stuff that I don’t really understand and I’ll be back soon. 🙂 Praying I can figure it out soon because my computer is virtually un-usable and SLLLOOWWW.

In (better) news, I took all 3 boys to the dentist today and nobody embarrassed me. That’s right… nobody ran away from me, I didn’t have to chase anyone down the hallway, or pull anyone off the decorations they just love to try to climb on. There were no looks from strangers, or older folks judging me. We came, we dentist’d, we conquered. Yes!!!! 🙂

Ok, now let’s get to the fun part, these Gingy-Men pancakes! I even busted out my naturally dyed sprinkles I’ve been saving just for Holiday baking to dress these pancakes up a bit, and how cute did they turn out? I’ve been known to hate on sprinkles in the past (among other things like bunnies) because they are nasty *ahem partially hydrogenated oils and artificial color-bombs.* However I can totally get down with a few naturally dyed sprinkles on some festive pancakes to put a smile on my boy’s faces! They thought it was something really special and I got to enjoy a pancake with my coffee. Win-win all around!

Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes

By Dana Published: November 19, 2014

  • Yield: 10-12 medium pancakes

This is a larger batch recipe, perfect for sharing with family. I used 1/4 a cup per pancake, which made a great medium sized pancake.

Ingredients

  • 2 and 1/2 cups whole wheat white flour or 1/2 stone ground and 1/2 whole wheat white
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 Tbsp unsulphered molasses
  • 2 cups buttermilk or 2 cups milk + 2 Tbsp vinegar

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients, then combine the two and stir just until incorporated. Cook on a preheated griddle or cast iron skillet.
