Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 large eggs
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar (or light brown)
1 cup low fat buttermilk
1/4 cup brewed coffee (cooled to room temperature)
1 2/3 cup white whole wheat flour ( or whole wheat pastry flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
6 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
3 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla Greek yogurt)
3 tablespoons maple syrup (plus additional to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons skim milk

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until well combined. Stir in the buttermilk and coffee.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently, just until combined. You will have some lumps remaining. Stir in the melted butter.
  • If you'd like to keep different batches of pancakes warm, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Heat a griddle or sturdy skillet over medium-low heat. Coat the skillet with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking, then ladle 1/2 cup batter (for large pancakes) or 1/4 cup batter (for smaller pancakes) into the pan and begin cooking. Because these pancakes are whole wheat, they cook more slowly. Flip when the edges of the pancake are no longer shiny and some bubbling forms on top, about 4-5 minutes for large pancakes or 2-3 for smaller ones. Continue cooking on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve the cooked pancakes immediately or keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
  • For the maple cream cheese topping: In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and Greek yogurt on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla and mix again. Add 2 tablespoons milk to thin the batter. Taste and add additional maple syrup if you desire a sweeter topping. If you desire a thinner consistency, continue adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time, until the topping is as thick as you like. Serve with warm pancakes.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3 large beaten eggs

Tips:

  • Measure flour correctly: For accurate measurements, use a digital kitchen scale to weigh the flour instead of using a measuring cup. This ensures the right amount of flour is used, resulting in the perfect pancake texture.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for these pancakes. Peel and grate the ginger yourself to ensure maximum flavor and aroma.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough pancakes. Mix until the ingredients are just combined, taking care not to overwork the batter.
  • Cook pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat allows them to cook evenly without burning the outside while ensuring the inside is cooked through.
  • Serve pancakes immediately: Gingerbread pancakes are best served immediately after cooking. This ensures they are warm and fluffy, with the maximum flavor and aroma.
