Sunday morning and what to make for breakfast??? Eggs? Well, we had breakfast for dinner on Wednesday. Little milk, so limited on cereal for 5 people. How about Gingerbread pancakes? I can use the gingerbread pancake mix I got to give as a Christmas present but never got around giving.
So, I’m making pancakes, which I haven’t done for quite some time. I recently thew away my electric skillet due the non-stick coming off and very uneven heating.
So I have 2 choices: a large round pan with non-stick bottom or a regular size cast-iron pan (which I really never use). 
I start with the larger of the pans. It is a little bigger than my biggest burner , so I still have uneven heating. Parts of the pancakes are black, and parts are nearly raw. I move on to the cast iron skillet, pancakes want to stick, so I use a LOT of oil in the pan for cooking-yuck. The pancakes cook still not so well, and seem to be very greasy. I have now made about 6 pancakes, and figure at this rate, I will be done with the batter in about….who knows but it will take too long. 
What to do, what to do?? I figure I am not out anything, and the batter looks like muffin mix, I mean I added the same stuff to the batter that I do when I make muffins, so out come the regular muffin pan and liners, I spray non-stick in the liners and add the mix. Still more batter left so I get out the mini-muffin pan and spritz with non-stick. Throw in the oven at 400 degrees, and keep a close eye on the muffin/pancakes. 
They turned out so yummy. 
Even the mini-muffins turned out deliciously yummy. Pretty ginger color, no burn spots, no raw, spots, just yummy all over the plate . The best part, we all got to eat pancake/muffins together, none of that two pancakes ready at a time.
Compare the pancakes with the muffin pancakes (still trying to figure out what to call them).
Here are some just yummy pics of the pancakes/muffins with syrup & butter.
