Easy Red Velvet Pancakes

The theme of this week is Valentine's Day!
I've focused on not only bringing you Valentine's posts & recipes, but also tried to offer easy versions of everything! That way anyone can find the time to celebrate this holiday.
This recipe is no exception (:
I don't know if you knew this, but yesterday was Pancake Day!! It is always the Tuesday before Lent starts. It dates back a few centuries ago when people would try and use up all their fattening ingredients before they started fasting. Most people made pancakes for at least one of the meals that day. Now this holiday is celebrated all over the world!
Pancake Day + Valentine's Day = Red Velvet Pancakes

These are so easy!
I used the other 1/2 of the Red Velvet Cake mix from my Homemade Red Velvet Ice Cream.
