Hi Everyone,
Today is the holiday blog hop sponsored by Erin from Big Fat Baker. Today’s holiday hop we had to make something with either with potatoes, beer or pistachios. I had fun with these ingredients. I originally was going to post beer bread that I did make, but honestly I didn’t care for it. I don’t know if I made it wrong or if I just didn’t like the taste. My Husband didn’t care for it either, so I scraped it. Than I made the skinny pistachio cookies, that I posted earlier this week and I was going to use those for today’s hop, but then those cookies inspired me for today’s recipe which is pistachio pancakes. As you can see from the picture they look like my cookies!
These pancakes were amazing! They really did taste like my Pistachio Cookies!! I was pleased with them and so was hubby! I thought they were pretty festive with green color, don’t you? Weird eating green pancakes, but fun!! Kind of reminds me of Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham.
Making these cookies pancakes, I got 10 of them! When I first put the batter in the skillet, they were kind of liquidy, so I had to add more flour to firm them up a bit. If you make these you will probably get 8 pancakes, maybe 9 out of the batch.
These pancake are light and fluffy with a wonderful pistachio flavor. Not over sweet, but overly good. I LOVE these pancakes!! It’s funny when I was getting dressed I was thinking what could I have for breakfast? I told myself, I can’t keep eating pistachio cookies, than the idea came to mind, make them into pancakes. So than the pistachio pancake was born. I love when you get brilliant ideas, especially ones that take after a cookie!!

Wow! Pistachio pancakes?? Who would have thought!? Sounds yummy! Love!
These are some gorgeous freaking pancakes – and very fitting with St. Patrick’s Day. Well done! I’m loving this so much that it’s absolute torture just seeing this on my computer screen at midnight. I’ll have to hurry up and go to sleep so I can make this in the morning.
There funny pancakes aren’t they? I love that there green! lol
These pancakes are gorgeous green fluff central! I love all things pistachio-flavored so these NEED to make it into the breakfast rotation!
You have to love pistachios! There my forgotten nut!
what a fun recipe! those look and sound amazing
Thanks Felicia! 🙂
What a fun pancake! I’m coming over for breakfast.
Your welcome anytime, just be suure to bring over your Peanut Butter Cookies!
Okay – these are absolutely STUNNING! You did so many things to make them healthy AND delicious! Seriously…BRAVO!
Thanks Ann! I had fun with these pancakes! 🙂
My husband loves pistachios, he would think these pancakes are a great treat!
It never occured to me to add pistachios to pancakes. I love them. I am so glad you shared this recipe with us.
Thanks! For some reason I don’t think of nuts in pancakes, but why not add them? That’s what I love about pancakes, you can make them into almost anything you like. It’s kind of like pizza, who says you can only have it a traditional way? it’s a bread, topped with any good things you like!!
I love the green pancakes themselves–I’m a total pancake addict! However, I don’t like nuts by any means. Would they just taste like regular pancakes if I were to make the recipe without the pistatios? I’m really hoping that they do, because they green color looks pretty cool. And I love how they’re only 23 carbs for that many pancakes.
Hi,
You don’t need to add the pistachios. They’ll taste like regular pancakes. However the consitancy of the batter may change (not sure). In the end if the batter is to runny, I add flour in 1 tablespoon at a time, if it’s to thick than add milk 1 tablespoon at a time. You should check out my other pancake recipes on my recipe page, there’s quite a few there. If you like green, just add your food coloring into your batter. If you try them, let me know what you think!
Omgosh! I LOVE these. How totally creative. Can I have a St. Pattie’s Day extender or something so I can make them any time I want??
Of course you can extend it! Funny how we only eat foods we like around that holiday! Who said you can’t eat Pistachio Pancakes another time of the year? I know I’ll be making these again soon!!
What a fun flavor for pancakes! These are so fun and festive, Jennifer!

Thank you! They were fun to create and eat!!
These look awesome! I loved your cookie recipe so I am sure these would be great too. Great job on the hop this round!

Thanks! You gotta love the green! I used so much green this week, that I had dye on my hands for a few days, that stuff doesn’t like to come off!!
What a great recipe! I am so bummed-I was supposed to be part of the blog hop and instead spent yesterday taking care of my sick hubby and daughter 🙁 Can’t wait to make a similar recipe of these yummy pancakes!
I hope your Hubby and daughter get better soon. Don’t worry there will be another blog hop soon! Glad your part of the group!!
Fun pancakes!

These look great – any breakfast based on a cookie is perfect in my books!
Those pancakes look divine! I would love to try some.
Oh, I’d MUCH rather have these than green eggs and ham! And I bet your cookies are darn tasty, too 🙂 Great idea for the St.Patty’s Day blog hop!!! Have a wonderful weekend, my friend~
Yum! Pistachios have to be one of my most favorite foods! These sound amazing. Found you on Crumbs and Chaos! I’d love for you to share these on Sweet & Simple Sunday party!

These look fluffy and delicious! I love pistachios and pancakes, so together they must be incredible.
I was surprised on how tasty they are!! I love them. making them tomorrow to take to work next week!!
Pistachios are so addicting. It will probably be impossible to stop eating the cookies and pancakes as well. Great idea.
Thanks! I forgot how much I love pistachio’s but this week I reconnected with them!
Love this idea! One of the best pistachio recipes I have seen! The color is wonderful :)!
Thanks! I thought people would be afraid of green pancakes, but there not! 🙂 Have a great day!!!
Holy cow these look so amazing and green! 🙂 I love pistachios, so I’d be very happy to try these beauties!
I make pancakes using almond flour. Sure going to try your version with pistachios.
I never made pancakes with almond flour, I’m going to have to give that a try!
Is the nutritional info per serving or per pancakes? Thanks a bunch!
Good mornig! The calories are per serving. So 3 pancakes would be the serving. If you make them , let know how you like them. Have a nice day.
Mmm. I love pistachio sweets! I definitely have to give these a try AND take a look at your pistachio cookies!
If you do try them, let me know what you think! Now you have me in the mood to make the pancakes and cookies!!
I LOVE pistachios and made pistachio muffins last week! These pancakes sound SO good!! Something to try 🙂
Pistachio muffins! Yummy! You have to share the recipe! It sounds so good!!
