Red Velvet Pancakes are soft, fluffy pancakes with a hint of cocoa and a vibrant red color, finished with a smooth and tangy cream cheese topping.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour
  • Cocoa powder
  • Granulated sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Eggs
  • Buttermilk
  • Milk
  • Red food coloring
  • Vanilla extract
  • White vinegar
  • Butter or oil
  • Cream cheese
  • Powdered sugar
  • Milk (for topping)
  • Vanilla extract (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix eggs, buttermilk, milk, red food coloring, vanilla extract, vinegar, and melted butter or oil until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  5. Pour batter onto the surface and cook until bubbles form on top.
  6. Flip and cook until the pancakes are fully cooked and lightly browned.
  7. For the topping, beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until pourable.
  8. Serve pancakes warm with cream cheese topping drizzled over the top.

Notes

  • Use beet juice as a natural alternative to food coloring if preferred.
  • Add chocolate chips for extra richness.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in a skillet, microwave, or toaster until warmed through.
