Easy Buckwheat Gingerbread Pancakes & Pancake Mix

These Gingerbread Pancakes and Gingerbread Pancake Mix made with gluten free buckwheat flour will spread delicious cheer throughout your kitchen this holiday season. Top them off with pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup for a festive treat!

I’m loving this month’s Recipe ReDux theme, “Adding Merriment to Mixes”, because, truly, some of the best holiday gifts, are those that come from the heart…and from the kitchen.

From hostess gifts to holiday gifts, it’s the season for DIY offerings from your kitchen…

Inspired by a drizzly morning, that called for a steaming hot cup of coffee {which BTW, we were fresh out of, so I walked 1 mile in the pouring rain drizzle, just to buy Mr. Spicy and myself a cup of coffee :-)…ok, I was desperate for a cup of coffee myself, but I really did buy one for my hubby too!} and something yummy to eat, I decided to experiment and whip up a batch of these delicately sweet and spicy gluten free gingerbread pancakes, topped with pure maple syrup and lightly toasted pecans.

Oh, my goodness….

These gluten free gingerbread pancakes do not disappoint in the gingerbread department.

Nor in the pancake department.
