How To Make Gingerbread Pancakes

Making these vegan gingerbread pancakes is easy. Most ingredients are typical baking staples, so you should have them at home already.

To start, gather the wet and dry ingredients. Begin with the dry ingredients and mix them in a bowl. Afterward, slowly add the wet ingredients, which are only almond butter and almond milk, into the mixture.

Mix your ingredients and ensure no flour is left in the bowl. When ready, heat your nonstick pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Scoop the gingerbread pancake batter onto the pan to make pancakes. Make them all the same size so you can stack them nicely when they are done cooking.

Once bubbles form on the pancakes, flip them over. Cook for a minute on the other side before putting them on a plate lined with a towel. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

It is time to serve the pancakes! Serve each stack of gingerbread pancakes warm, topped with coconut flakes and maple syrup. You can even add a cinnamon stick for decoration!
