Bring some holiday cheer to your breakfast with delicious and easy EGGNOG PANCAKES! My family is full of pancake lovers, and I’m always experimenting and looking for new ways to make them. These egg nog pancakes have been a big hit in our home.
Eggnog Pancakes Recipe
This recipe is a twist on my fluffy pancake recipe. Big, fluffy pancakes with just the right amount of eggnog flavor. These are a fantastic way to start the day during the holiday season. And they are easy enough to even make them on a busy weekday morning.
Eggnog lovers and those who love the flavor but have a bit of a challenge with the texture of eggnog, will both love these pancakes. These pancakes pack that great eggnog flavor right into pancakes! They also freeze very well, so don’t hesitate to make a double batch. I make pancakes once or twice a week, double the recipe, and freeze. This makes for very easy and quick breakfasts on hectic school mornings.
You can top this eggnog pancake recipe however you like. You can use butter, powdered sugar, syrup, or my daughter’s favorite, an eggnog glaze, which is included in the recipe below. You just can’t go wrong with the eggnog glaze option, trust me on that!

Easy Eggnog Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup eggnog
- 2/3 cup milk buttermilk is GREAT if you have it on hand
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- Additional butter or oil for pans
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 TBSP eggnog
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, salt and sugar in a bowl. Stir to combine. Add in eggnog, milk and eggs, stirring just enough to start to combine. Add in melted butter and stir just until combined. Batter will be lumpy and thick. Let batter sit for 2-3 minutes, this will allow time for the baking powder and buttermilk to help puff up the batter.
- Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter (an ice cream scoop is perfect) into a skillet that has been preheated to medium-low / medium heat (for reference I heat to 4 on a 1-10 scale) and lightly brushed with butter or oil. The batter will be thick and you will need to use your scoop or spoon to help spread the batter out a bit. When bubbles start to appear on surface and edges of pancake begin to appear to be browning, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Pancakes should only be flipped once. Transfer to a plate and devour!
Glaze
- Stir together the confectioners' sugar, salt, nutmeg and 2 tablespoons eggnog in a medium bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, gradually whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon eggnog as needed. If glaze is to thin, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Drizzle over pancakes and serve immediately.
