Grinch Pancakes is a fun and festive Christmas Breakfast idea. The green pancakes are topped with cream cheese frosting and red candy hearts to make the best pancakes.
Beat together the glaze ingredients with a hand held or stand up mixer until creamy and smooth (approximately 2 minutes). Set aside.
For the Green Whipped Cream:
Beat together the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl on low speed until bubbles start to form.
Add in the green food coloring until the mixture is the color you prefer.
Then beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use (up to 1 hour).
For the Pancakes:
In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Then in a separate large bowl whisk together the in the milk, egg, melted butter and green food coloring.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix for approximately 30 seconds until the ingredients are combined.
Preheat a griddle, cast iron skillet or non stick skillet over medium high heat. Grease with a non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Add the batter to the pan in approximately ¼ cup scoops.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles start to appear at the top of the pancake. Flip the pancake and finish cooking for 2-3 more minutes until golden brown.
Transfer the pancake to a plate and continue this process until all the batter is used.
To Assemble:
Stack the pancakes on a plate.
Drizzle the glaze on top and top each stack with the green whipped cream.
Sprinkle the red heart sprinkles on top and then the pancakes are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
Leftover pancakes store great! Refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days or freeze in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
