it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas at my house.
this past weekend, the tree was trimmed, the stockings were hung, the nativity was set, and the gingerbread pancakes were cooked. (oh, and the outdoor christmas laser light show my husband bought without consent was turned on… {sigh} um. okay.)
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. i believe gingerbread shouldn’t be reserved for only the christmas season. it’s so crazy good it should be made and eaten all year round.
but i’ll confess, it is this time of year that i crave it the most.
and it shows up a LOT during the holidays, in my house, in the form of pancakes.
frankly, i’m a little shocked that it’s taken THIS long to actually share a gingerbread pancake recipe with you, dear reader. but the wait was worth it, because this time it is not just gluten- but also grain-free!
i’ve found a really happy place in baking/cooking goodies with a mix of almond flour and arrowroot starch. the combination seems to be a perfect nirvana and makes things exclusively grain-free, but immensely delightful in taste AND texture.
do yourself a favor with this tiding of comfort and joy… make these perfect grain-free gingerbread pancakes for yourself and your merry gentlemen.
yess! it's finally gingerbread pancake season. and these are #grainfree! Click To Tweet
