Why You will Love these Gingerbread Pancakes

- Perfect for Christmas brunch.
- Everyone gets to eat warm pancakes at the same time.
- Freeze really well so you can make them ahead of time.
- Can be made from scratch or using a pancake mix.
- Soft and fluffy!-
How to Make Perfect Pancakes Every Time!
- Don’t overmix the batter, it should be just combined and a little bit lumpy.
- For the fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for about 3 minutes before pouring onto the baking sheet. This allows the baking powder to create more air bubbles.
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for maximum rising and fluffiness.
- The pancake is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
Can this recipe be made using pancake mix?
Yes!
Mix 2 cups of Bisquick Pancake Mix with the spices, then add the wet ingredients and mix together. Follow the rest of the recipe as directed.
You are basically just replacing the flour and baking powder with bisquick (or other favourite pancake mix.)
What Mix-ins can be Added to this Pancake Mix?
Semi-sweet Chocolate chips are always a hit and they work really well with gingerbread.
Sprinkle chopped and toasted pecans on top either alone, or with the semi-sweet chocolate chips mixed into the batter.
How to Store Sheet Pan Pancakes
Once the pancakes have cooled, you can store the slices in an airtight container to store in the fridge. It keep well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
You can also make Sheet Pan Pancakes ahead of time and freeze them. Once cooled, slice into squares, and then either wrap each individual slice with plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag, or layer in an airtight freezer safe container, with waxed paper between layer, and freeze for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to serve up the frozen pancakes, you can reheat them in a toaster if the slices are cut large enough. If not, reheat in the oven on a baking sheet until just warmed through.
Can the Pancake Batter be Made Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can make the pancake batter the night before and let it sit in the fridge until you are ready to go.
The batter can actually be stored in the fridge for up to two days prior to baking. Just bring it to room temperature before baking and give it a good whisk then proceed with the recipe.
About the Ingredients for Gingerbread Sheet Pan Pancakes
Flour – Spoon and level the flour when measuring it, or your cupcakes may end up too dense.
Baking powder – Helps make the pancakes light and fluffy.
Brown Sugar – Use either light brown or dark brown sugar.
Salt – Makes all the other ingredients really shine.
Milk – You can use any kind of milk you like. Don’t use water, it will make the pancakes “thirsty”.
Eggs – Room temperature, large eggs.
Butter – Melted butter adds loads of flavour but you can also use your favourite oil here. Coconut oil would be especially tasty.
Molasses – Use only Fancy molasses here.
Spices – We use a combination of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground allspice and ground nutmeg to to create the gingerbread flavour. You can swap the allspice with ground cloves.
