These Green Christmas Pancakes are perfect for Christmas day. Kids will love the bright green Grinch-like color. Drizzle them with maple syrup or a cream cheese glaze and enjoy this festive breakfast.
0 Measure out the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Whisk together until incorporated.
1 Whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, green food coloring and oil in a smaller bowl. Whisk together with a fork until combined — you want to ensure that the egg is completely incorporated, as well as the food coloring.
2 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.Be careful not to overmix, as this will affect the texture of the pancakes.
3 Set aside the batter, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
4 While the batter rests, heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
5 Grease the pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
6 Dollop the pancakes onto the preheated skillet when ready. I like to use a cookie scoop to measure my pancakes out into 1.5-tablespoon silver dollar sized ones, but you can use a larger measuring scoop if you’d rather larger pancakes.
7 When several bubbles have formed on the surface, flip the pancakes, and cook through. Repeat until all batter has been made into pancakes.
8 Make a stack of pancakes, and serve with the cream cheese glaze, red sprinkle hearts and whipped cream.
