Christmas spiced pancakes #Christmas

Christmas spice pancakes. Delicious ginger and cinnamon flavored buckwheat pancake with PEAR Christmas shapes. Festive food fun for kids. No refined sugar. 

I've adapted Carrie buckwheat and banana pancake recipe to make a pancake with a spicier Christmas feel. Carrie likes to Add sliced fruit to pancakes and it gives me the inspiration to add the pear-shaped slices of Christmas. This is such a simple recipe and one is great for getting the kids to help with.

I whipped up the dough in a blender and when I'm doing a Finn are cutting out Christmas shapes from slices of pears I prepared earlier. Finn ate all cut off but you can add it to salad or fruit salad to use up.

Both boys quickly work their way through this dish and I admit to having some of them too. Unfortunately, even though we make a few batches, there is never any left over for my husband to try! They are just that good.
