Gingerbread Pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 2 cups pancake mix
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground ginger, divided
- 1-1/4 cups water (or as directed on pancake mix package)
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp confectioners sugar
- Gingerbread cookies, crushed, for serving

How to Make:
- Combine pancake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp of ginger in a large bowl.
- Add water, molasses, and vanilla and whisk until just combined.
- Preheat nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
