I think Red Velvet Pancakes can be a very romantic breakfast. Drizzle some cream cheese glaze on top and add a few strawberries and you have a beautiful romantic treat. Inspired by the classic red velvet cupcakes made into a light fluffy pancake.

The drizzle adds a little something to the pancakes and this way you really don’t need any syrup. You can even make the pancakes into hearts which is always fun.

Happy Anniversary! These look really good. I'm not a fan of red velvet, but I do love me some pancakes! My son and nephew would be sure to make and enjoy these, though.
Candi says
They don\’t really have a distinct flavor but they taste pretty good and the cream on top is to die for.
