I’m sort of in love with any thing Red Velvet. I mean it’s basically ‘red chocolate’ right? and who doesn’t love chocolate or the color red? HA! Well, if you ever needed a reason to have red velvet for breakfast, Valentines Day would be the perfect time, and Red Velvet Pancakes would be the answer! Use heart shaped cookie cutters to make them even sweeter!

Whether you buy into the whole “Hallmarky” holiday or just want to celebrate the ones you love, why not show them how much you love them with a gift from the kitchen! Take a break, just one day, from all the chaos and start their day with a bang!

I have to be honest here, these are more like eating dessert than breakfast if you top them with the cream cheese topping, but hey, it’s Valentines Day right? I declare it “sweets all day long” day! But if you prefer, the red velvet flavor is just as delicious with a pat of butter and maple syrup drizzled over them.

The delicious, fluffy, red velvet cake aroma filled the entire kitchen, from the moment they hit the skillet! And yes….. they tasted exactly like red velvet cake, especially when the creamy frosting melted into the warm pancakes! My family loves anything red velvet, and I can’t help but give my family what they want! HA! uh, and any excuse to have ‘cake’ for breakfast! Maybe you’d like to do the same for your family? I hope that your day is filled with red and pink hearts, lots of hugs and kisses and sweet sweet chocolate! If you enjoyed this recipe, you may also enjoy my Red Velvet Crepes!
