This morning, I enjoyed eggnog pancakes for breakfast and, oh my goodness, they tasted a-mazing… like Christmas in pancake form. Aren’t the holidays the most wonderful time of year?
Sunday morning often means that I make pancakes for breakfast and this morning was no different. As I went to grab some of the ingredients to make the batter from the refrigerator, I spotted a carton of eggnog, and I immediately knew it would make a delicious addition to my recipe.
And, boy, was I right! These pancakes turned out soft, fluffy, and sweet with cinnamon and eggnog flavor. Mmm! They definitely have the potential to become a holiday favorite in our house!

I’m not a fan of eggnog, but strangely I feel like I would love these pancakes. Maybe I’ll just have to try them out!
Yum!! The more ways to incorporate egg nog into your life, the better I say!
sounds super yummy! great idea. thanks for the recipe!
This looks so yummy!
my grandfather is the only one that like egg nog in our family, so a few years ago he started making pancakes and biscuits the morning after christmas with the leftover – the whole family love them! sometime you’ll have to try making biscuits with it!
These sound really good! I have some almond flour I need to use. I made your chocolate chip cookie dough dip yesterday and it was awesome! I added a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and that made it even better!
Yum! Glad it turned out well! š
Yum! I bet the hint of the brown sugar went really well with the eggnog flavor!
These look amazing! I was just thinking I needed to do some baking with my soy-nog, maybe pancakes should be it. š
I got my first taste of eggnog a few days ago in a Starbucks Eggnog Latte- I’m a fan!
Looks yummy! We drank egg nog for one of our 24 days of togetherness and I thought it tasted like bubble gum!
Want! I haven’t had any eggnog yet this year. Cannot wait to have lots of it! Eggnog flavored everything! š
What a great idea! So festive for the holidays too!
my dad would drool over this recipe. Great for egg nog enthusiasts!
YUM! Those sounds delicious, and perfect for Holiday mornings! Thanks!
Sounds fantastic! Perfect for a Christmas morning!!
I am not a huge fan of eggnog so I am not sure I would like these but thanks for the recipe!
Ooh, looks super yummy! Saturday I make “special pancakes” for breakfast for my kids. They are huge eggnog fans, looks like we’ve got a winner for next Saturday’s breakfast!
Genius idea to use eggnog! š
This looks awesome Tina. Never thought of using eggnog in pancakes. Nice.
I can’t usually stand eggnog except in baked goods (Mrs. Fields has a great eggnog cookie recipe that I’ve been making for cookie exchanges since I was ten!). I might have to try these. š
Those sound & look wonderful! I love pancakes! š
Darn! I wish I had seen this before I made brunch this morning! I’m definitely going to make these next Sunday. Btw, which almond flour do you use? I’ve noticed a lot of recipes have different results based on the brand/consistency of the almond flour & I don’t want to mess with the delicious, fluffy texture you’ve got going on!
That sounds quite tasty. I don’t like eggnog, but in pancake form it sounds pretty awesome. Good idea!
These sound delicious. I think I need to start making some recipes that taste like Christmas time because it certainly does not feel anywhere near Christmas down here in the 80 degree weather in Florida! I’m not complaining, but I do miss bundling up in the cold and it actually feeling like the holidays.
LOVE that these are gluten-free! Can’t wait to make them š
Just a note, not all egg nogs are gluten free. Some contain wheat as a thickening agent. Readers should def. check labels before purchasing as not all brands are safe.
Eggnog in pancakes and waffles is ahhhmazing! These look so good.
I tried this and the batter turned out thick and sticky like cookie dough. How did you get yours to look like pancakes?
My dough was pretty thin. What type of eggnog did you use? Did you use almond flour/meal?
@Tina:
I just used regular egg nog from my grocery store. I used whole wheat flour though…is that thicker?
@jennifer: Yea, it’s quite a bit thicker. All-purpose flour might work?
These look devine. Being in the UK, eggnog isn’t something you see all the time but I’m going to keep a look out and see if I can get some. I normally use bananas to make my paleo pancakes so these are a great alternative for me to try.
I’m definitely trying those eggnog pancakes! Pinned that recipe for later, love that you use almond flour so they’re already gluten free!
I don’t like eggnog but we had some in the fridge, these were DELICIOUS! I’m eating them right now š I like smaller pancakes and these made 12, had to cook for less time so they wouldn’t burn.
Yay! So glad you liked them! š
