Whole Wheat Gingerbread Pancakes
I think I have eaten more food this summer than I usually do in a year.
I mean, when I went to Mexico, I had a buffet meal for every meal. This lasted 2 weeks. Now that I'm back, it seems like I'm going to return to that habit.
You see, last night, I went to a buffet with a large group. And what does everyone do at buffets? Makes sure they get their moneys worth of food, right? What does that entail? Well, at least 2 large , heaping plates of food, then of course, at least 2 plates of dessert.
All that food made me so full, I went into a deep food sleep, and woke up 2 hours later than I normally do.
That whole over eating and waking up late ordeal reminded me of Christmas. So, since I was already in the mood, I made some gingerbread pancakes. I was originally thinking of making gingerbread cookies, but I have made lots of cookies recently.
These pancakes were like Christmas in a little circular, fluffy package. I will definitely remember these babies come December.

Oh yum these look beautiful and delicious and would love to make them, just need to know what to substitute for egg since it kills me when I have any.
You can replace the egg with 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed and 3 Tbsp water!
Why restrict Christmas breakfast, to only Christmas? Haha, we`re close enough!
