Gingerbread Pancakes

Gingerbread Pancakes

I recently received some sample maple products made by a company in Quebec called
Brien
. Maple is one of my favorite flavours and I was eagerly awaiting trying out these new maple products. Of course the package contained some maple syrup and I could not think of a better way to start out my exploration of the maple products than with pancakes with maple syrup. I have also recently been into ginger and I was thinking that gingerbread pancakes would be a good idea. I started with a basic pancakes recipe, with some of the flour replaced by whole wheat flour, and added some of the flavour elements from the
gingersnap cookies
that I had recently made including the ginger and some cinnamon, cloves and molasses. The gingerbread pancakes turned out great! They were nice and light and fluffy and full of that gingerbread flavour that I like so much. I served them with a dollop of melting butter and of course the maple syrup. It is really hard to beat pancakes with high quality maple syrup for breakfast!

  3. Yum, these look so tasty! I love the idea of gingerbread pancakes…we have a restaurant near us that pairs them with a pear sauce and they are really awesome. I may just have to try them at home!

  45. Mmmm, it’s like a big soft gingerbread cookie. Would you mind if we used thin icing instead of syrup? 🙂

  50. Kevin,
    You have the most beautiful pictures on your recipe blog. Do you have a “day job” or is this it? It seems to me that cooking, photographing, and posting would take a good bit of time.
    BUT, I must say I’m awfully glad you do it!

    These pancakes look delicious…I’m not generally a fan of pancakes, but since I’m an uber-fan of gingerbread, these could totally convince me to eat some brekky…
