Red Velvet Pancakes make an absolutely, positively delicious breakfast for Christmas morning, Valentine’s Day or any day. These pancakes are extra decadent, studded with mini chocolate chips and drizzled with a cream cheese glaze. There’s a whole lot of sugar going on here.

If you don’t feel like having them for breakfast, they definitely qualify for dessert.

Red Velvet Pancakes Recipe Tips

You’ll want to make sure the heat under your griddle isn’t too hot. I find that they burn easily. Most likely because the batter has so much sugar in it. Cook them a little longer and slower than normal to ensure the inside sets up before the outside burns.
