December is the month of peppermint. Peppermint mochas, peppermint bark, even peppermint fudge! But today I'm going to share one of my holiday ideas: peppermint pancakes. The best breakfast has to be pancakes. Especially during the colder months, pancakes serve as a delicious and warm way to start your day off. But by adding peppermint, it's like you've invented a new food! Peppermint literally goes with anything, so it seems only logical to put it in pancakes.
Ingredients1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tbsp butter, melted
*1 tsp peppermint extract
*4 mini/ 2 large candy canes, crushed and divided
(You can make this using a pancake mix, just add the ingredients with "*")
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients.2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg until fully beaten, add milk, and mix together.
3. Combine the egg, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients.
4. Add 1/2 of the crushed candy canes. (Do not overmix, there will be lumps)
5. In a well oiled pan, add the batter.
6. When you begin to see bubbles on the pancake, flip.
7. After flipping, add crushed peppermint to the top of the pancake as it is still cooking.
8. Serve warm with any toppings: syrup, chocolate sauce, white choc. chips, nuts, etc.
