Eggnog Pancakes

Eggnog pancakes are fluffy, creamy, and sweetly spiced with nutmeg – they make a lovely holiday breakfast. This recipe makes the best fluffy Christmas morning pancakes! What could be better on Christmas morning than rich delicious eggnog pancakes?  My family loves this traditional recipe, but it can be made gluten-free as well.  And they make delicious waffles as well!

Recipe Notes

Recipe Notes:

  • The recipe makes thick pancakes - use additional eggnog to thin them out if you desire.
  • You can make the batter the night before to save time in the morning.
  • Double the recipe for a big group or holiday brunch.
  • These pancakes also make waffles.
  • For gluten-free, use GF 1:1 flour (I have used Bob's Red Mill) and 1/2 teaspoon xantham gum.  Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
  • The serving size is one pancake.
