Ingredients

4 servings

1 (14.5 ounce) package gingerbread mix 1 ¼ cups warm water 1 egg 1 (3.4 ounce) package JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding 2 ½ cups milk

Freshly Baked Banana Muffins

Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the gingerbread mix, water, and egg until you have a smooth batter. Heat a griddle or a large skillet over medium heat and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Pour about a scant 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook them until you see bubbles forming on top, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. While the pancakes are cooking, mix the pudding mix and milk in a microwave-safe bowl with a whisk. Microwave it on high for about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until it’s heated through. Serve the pancakes warm with the lemon sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
