Red Velvet Pancakes

Red Velvet Pancakes

I first tried red velvet pancakes during a cozy brunch with friends, and I instantly fell in love with their rich flavor and velvety texture.

It felt like having dessert for breakfast!

After some experimenting in my kitchen, I perfected this recipe. It’s now my go-to treat for special mornings or whenever I want to add a little flair to breakfast.

Description

These vibrant red velvet pancakes are light, fluffy, and perfect for a decadent breakfast.

The subtle cocoa flavor and tangy cream cheese glaze create a delightful combination that’s as delicious as it is eye-catching.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract, divided
  • 1 tbsp milk (adjust if needed)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tsp red food coloring
  • 1 tsp distilled white vinegar
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • Cooking spray
Instructions
  1. Combine confectioners’ sugar, cream cheese, and 1 tsp vanilla in a bowl. Beat until smooth, adding 1 tbsp milk to create a drizzle-friendly consistency. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add buttermilk, ¼ cup milk, red food coloring, vinegar, and remaining vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just moistened. Add melted butter and stir until small lumps remain.
  5. Heat a greased griddle over medium-high heat. Spoon batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles appear and edges are set. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  6. Serve warm with cream cheese glaze drizzled on top.
