These pancakes are everything you’ve ever wanted in Christmas-themed pancakes:

- They are really quick and easy to make. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the plant-based milk and date syrup. Whisk everything together and ready is the batter!
- You’ll definitely want to drizzle date syrup on top of these. I know – usually I’m #teammaplesyrup, but for these you’ll want to get date syrup. It’s the perfect ooey gooey sweetener with a molassy taste.
See how fluffy these vegan Gingerbread pancakes are?! The trick is…. baking powder! ;)
These vegan Gingerbread Pancakes are drizzled with date syrup. They only need 9 ingredients and are the perfect breakfast to get into the Christmas spirit!
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg powder
- 2/3 cup plant-based milk - I used unsweetened rice coconut milk*
- 1 tablespoon date syrup ** + more for drizzling on top
- baking spray
Add the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg powder in a mixing bowl, give it a quick whisk. Add the plant-based milk and date syrup. Whisk until incorporated. Let it sit for a few minutes.
Spray a flat pan or griddle with oil and heat it up to low heat. Add a small ladle of pancake batter. Let it cook until the middle becomes bubbly and the corners set, then flip with a spatula. Let it cook on the other side until done. Repeat for all the pancakes.
Now, let's stack the pancakes and drizzle with more date syrup! Enjoy!
*If you use unsweetened milk, you might want to add a bit more date syrup.
**Instead of date syrup, you could also use maple syrup. But I find that the molassy taste of the date syrup is perfect for these gingerbread pancakes!

More sweet breakfast ideas!
YUM! These pancakes look so delicious (and the pics are just beautiful!). Can’t wait to try them for Christmas ♥
Thank you so much, Natalie! That is really sweet of you! :) Hope you like them!
As if those date drizzling shots weren’t convincing enough, that fluffy inside looks SO amazing!! I could eat gingerbread in any form for every meal, so this has the morning time sorted deliciously :)
What about a waffle version? Hubby is not big on pancakes. Any modifications?
I think you could use the dough as it is for waffles. Let me know if you give it a try :)
I’ve ordered the date syrup. However, I have to have GF. Do you think coconut flour will work as a sub?
I don’t think coconut flour alone will work. It’s very dry and different from wheat flour. A store-bought gluten-free flour mix (the ones that you can use 1:1 for regular flour) would be the best choice. There are also gluten-free flour mix ratios online.
What if you leave date syrup out? Since I dont have any in hand. Will they still come out decent?
The date syrup adds a lovely molassy taste. The pancakes are still delicious when you leave it out or sub it with maple syrup, but they will taste a bit less like gingerbread and more like cinnamon-ginger! But delicious nonetheless :)
I used golden syrup because i didn’t have date syrup or maple syrup but wow! These are probably the best pancakes I have eaten in my life and they’ve made me feel so Christmassy!
Oh wow, thank you so much for the wonderful review, Jade! I’m so glad you enjoyed the pancakes. :)
