This will probably be one of the shortest blog posts I’ve written but…it’s 4 days till Christmas (4 days people!) and I’m nowhere near as ready as I should be. I look at all the organised mums (who have got their Christmas presents wrapped, house cleaned, freezer stocked up, etc) with a real sense of admiration. This year I’m probably one of the least organised people ever (I ordered my last present 10 minutes ago, you’ll be shocked to know). For some personal reasons, festive season feels a bit of an inconvenience this year (I sound like a proper bah humbug) but I’m really looking forward to having a break, putting my camera down, spending precious time with family and friends and disconnecting from the online world for a few days.

These festive gingerbread pancakes have been on the menu in our household for a few weeks now. If you like winter spices and flavours, I dare to vouch you’ll be making these fluffy festive pancakes for friends and family again and again.

To make these gingerbread pancakes slightly more festive, you can always add a dash of rum or any favourite festive tipple into the pancake batter (just remember to serve them to adults only in this case!)

I chose to serve these festive pancakes with warm cranberry a maple sauce (just mix the maple syrup and cranberries together and microwave for 30-60 seconds to allow the cranberries to ‘pop’) but you can serve them with any other toppings of your choice – yoghurt, fruit, berries.

 

As always, if you have a go at making these festive gingerbread pancakes, I’d love you to drop a comment in the comment section below and tag me on Instagram @fit.foodie.nutter #fitfoodienutter so I can see your take on them.

Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: British
Servings: 6 pancakes
Author: Tania Pilcher | Fit Foodie Nutter
Ingredients
  • 1 egg or chia egg (1 tbsp milled chia seeds mixed with 3tbsp water)
  • 2 x 1/3 cup plant milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 3 tbsp xylitol (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp water
  • Coconut oil for frying
  • A small handful of cranberries and 5-6 tbsp maple syrup to serve
Instructions
  1. 1. For vegan version, prepare the chia egg by mixing 1tbsp milled chia seeds with 3 tbsp water. Set aside.

  2. 2. Combine milk and apple cider vinegar, mix well and set aside to let the liquid curdle slightly to resemble buttermilk consistency.

  3. 3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, xylitol (or sugar), baking powder and all the spices and mix well. Add (chia) egg, the ‘buttermilk mixture’, vanilla extract and water into the bowl and stir until smooth. If the batter looks too thick, add a little dash of water to loosen it up a little. You’re looking for rather firm batter to allow the pancakes to hold up.

  4. 4. Grease a pan with coconut oil. Fry the pancakes over medium heat for 1-2mins on each side until cooked through.

  5. 5. To make a warm cranberry ‘sauce’, in a small bowl mix in 5-6 tbsp maple syrup with a small handful of cranberries. Microwave for 30-60sweconds until the cranberries ‘pop’. Pour the cranberry ‘sauce’ over the pancakes and enjoy whilst still warm.

Instagram post 2187969655401292089_2203945468 [gifted] Had such a pleasure of having a sneaky peek at the newly refurbished @theoldforgeotterbourne the other night. Tastefully decorated cosy spaces, delicious food from a revamped seasonal menu, a selection of great drinks and roaring fireplaces is definitely what cosy winter evenings are made for, right? 🔥 Considering that it’s my local pub, I think I might be spending a few too many evenings there during the festive season... 🤭 If you’re local to the area or just passing by, @theoldforgeotterbourne is opening its doors to the public tomorrow, so be sure to pop in & snuggle up with a glass of wine (or two!) & a delicious meal by that cosy fireplace:) Happy weekend my dears! ✌🏻#gifted #ad .

Instagram post 2186396444355987781_2203945468 When I first started photographing food 4 years ago, the word 'backdrop' was not even in my vocabulary - I just photographed on 'normal stuff' - odd tables, floor, chairs and whatever I could place my food on... Then, when I started getting more serious about photographing food, I started filling my house up with extra heavy floor tiles, scaffolding boards that I dragged from the building sites and all sorts of self made DIY backdrops. All that clutter... .

For the last few months I've been using printed paper backdrops from @blackvelvetstyling and I love how versatile & practical they are. Made from reinforced matt paper, they're so easy to use, save a lot of space and really durable (I wipe mine off with a dry cloth and haven't had any problems with bad stains). Whether you photograph food, lifestyle flatlays or products, these backdrops might really elevate your photography. .

On another note, I'm packing up my house ready for the move and I'll be getting rid of a lot of my DIY backdrops - you're very welcome to have them if you're local (I'll put the snaps on stories, just message me if you want them!) Happy hump day my dears ✌🏻

Instagram post 2185876332733629335_2203945468 Finally, after 7 stressful months of selling the house & being in absolute limbo of where I am, I’m moving!! 💃This whole experience, which has been one emotional rollercoaster to say the least, has taught me to let go of all expectations and plans, surrender to what is and learn to trust that everything will happen as it should and at the right time... I’m so grateful to have a bunch of amazing friends who have been there for me through this bumpy ride 🙏🏻 Exciting times ahead 🙌 #newchapterawaits 💞
