These vegan gingerbread pancakes are made with whole wheat flour, contain no refined sugars, and are sweetened with molasses. The combination of the rich molasses and the spicy/sweet kick from the cinnamon and ginger will make you think it's Christmas morning after your first bite.
Start by prepping your flax egg by whisking together 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients, including the flax egg.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet and spread it around to flatten. Let it cook until bubbles start to appear around the edges of the pancake. Flip the pancake over and let the other side cook until golden brown. Continue this process with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with pure maple syrup, fresh fruit and granola if desired.
