Red Velvet Pancakes are bright red pancakes that are easy to make and so delicious. They are light and fluffy with an incredible cream cheese glaze to drizzle over the tops!
Red Velvet is one of my favorite dessert flavors. I love the hint of cocoa that is never overpowering. And the bright red color just gets me every time. 😉
These Red Velvet Pancakes are one of my favorite recipes. It’s a really simple recipe to prepare and the results are the fluffiest, yummiest pancakes around. The cream cheese glaze you drizzle over the tops only adds to their deliciousness!
I first made these pancakes about 3 years ago for Valentine’s Day breakfast and my kids fell in-love at first bite! Ever since then they have become a Valentines Day tradition.
This recipe makes a lot, so it’s great when your kids are asking for second and third helpings. haha. And believe me, they do every time I make these.
These Red Velvet Pancakes would also be perfect to serve on Christmas as well. Not only are they so good, but they’re absolutely beautiful too!
