Root Beer Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Root Beer Chocolate Chip Pancakes
What did that say?!? Root Beer? In pancakes? You betcha! Root beer chocolate chip pancakes are for kids and adults alike. The root beer in this recipe adds a unique flavor to the pancakes and the carbonation makes the pancakes light and fluffy. As for the chocolate chips, well everyone loves chocolate so why not add some to your pancakes too. A small amount of pumpkin pie spice is added to the batter for an added taste bonus.

Pancakes For Dinner
Do your kids like pancakes for dinner?? Next time they want to have pancakes for dinner, give this recipe a try. When my kids were young, about once a month we would have breakfast for dinner. Sometimes it would be bacon and eggs, or french toast and sausages, while other times we would have pancakes or waffles. One night the kids wanted pancakes for dinner and the rest is history.
Complete Pancake Mix
More often than not, I have a complete pancake mix on hand. In fact, it’s not often that I don’t have a complete pancake mix in my cupboard. I usually have a Belgium waffle mix on hand too. Even though its easy to make a pancake or waffle mix from scratch, I like the convenience that they both offer. For the few dollars that it costs to purchase a pancake/waffle mix and some water/root beer, you can have pancakes anytime.

Thanks for stopping!
Root beer. What fun!
Thanks Michelle! I'll check it out:)
Thanks for stopping by Michelle! This recipe came about because my son wanted pancakes one night for dinner and I was out of milk. Being the huge root beer lover that he is, he said, "Hey mom, why don't you use some root beer?" And this recipe was born:) Lynn
Wanted to let you know I've come across the pecan liqueur on amazon.
We have pancakes for dinner now and then–my son loves that. He also is a huge (and I mean HUGE) root beer lover. He would flip out over these any time of the day.
Thank you for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo, Lynn.
