Christmas Spiced Pancakes

Pancakes are a favourite in our household and Christmas is no exception. We have pancakes for breakfast every Christmas morning. We play around with ingredients & get creative, matching our breakfast with fresh fruit, yogurt and of course, maple syrup. 

Every year I search for a new recipe, one to top off the one from last year. And now, thanks to Healthy Little Foodies, we have an extra special recipe up our sleeve this year. Christmas is all about the smells, tastes & sounds of the holiday so bringing ginger into the pancakes feels natural and tastes delicious! 

Tip: Add some dried cranberries into the batter for some extra Christmas magic!
