I love eating red velvet cakes, bars, cupcakes, you name it! more importantly, I just LOVE pancakes! so this is like the best of both worlds and came just in time for Valentine’s day.

I decided to use what I call ‘cream cheese syrup’ instead of maple syrup because well, cream cheese frosting and red velvet are meant to be together and I hated to separate them during Valentine’s day! the syrup was delicious and super easy to make.

What you Will Need to Make Red Velvet Pancakes

The trick to these red velvet pancakes is to use a red velvet cake mix. You will also need flour, milk, an egg, and butter or oil for greasing the pan.

How to Make Red Velvet Pancakes

To begin making these pancakes whisk the milk and egg until combined then whisk in the cake flour as well as the all-purpose flour.

Next, it’s time to cook the pancakes. Cook the pancakes for about 1 minute per side or until fluffy and cooked through. Be sure to cook on low-medium heat so they don’t over-burn.

The last and final step is to make the cream cheese frosting. To make it, simply whisk all the ingredients in a small bowl until lump-free and creamy.

Drizzle the pancakes with this delicious cream cheese “syrup” ad enjoy!

Pro tip: If you don’t have red velvet cake mix on hand you can use ANY flavor of cake mix!
