12 Pancake Toppings you need to Try!
Pancakes are a fabulous breakfast or even a dinner if you want….but same old pancakes can get a little boring. I like to use random leftovers and items I find on a good deal to jazz them up a little bit!
It doesn’t matter if you are making regular pancakes, using a mix or homemade. It also doesn’t matter if you are making Sheet Pan Pancakes, you can totally use these ideas on all varieties!
Pancake Topping Ideas
Here is my favorite pancakes toppings:
1. Almond Joy Pancakes
I love this one to use up bits and pieces leftover in my baking cabinet! (Not enough to make a dessert, but definitely enough to make pancakes)
2. Banana Split Pancakes
All the yumminess of Banana Splits and kinda healthy-ish? Hey! My kids love them!
3. Carrot Cake Pancakes
I love carrot cake, but not everyone else in my family does. So, this is the perfect way to get that flavor without having to make and eat an entire cake myself!
4.Peach Cobbler Pancakes
If you don’t have granola, consider using up some leftover cereal! We use Honey Bunches of Oats sometimes, and it so yummy.
5. Smores Pancakes
This is totally a fun and unexpected twist. They were a huge hit during Fall and Winter when it was a little too cold to make “real” smores outside!
6. Key Lime Pie Pancakes
This was a fun twist we created after my husband fell in love with Key Lime Pie yogurt!
7. Caramel Apple Pancakes
I love the taste of caramel apples but not really the whole apple on a stick thing, so these really hit the spot without all the mess!
8. Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pancakes
You know those really expensive and fancy Tuxedo-style chocolate strawberries? To me these are the next best thing without all the work of dipping strawberries and drizzling with white chocolate!
Savory Pancake Toppings
Sometimes you really want pancakes but you don’t want a ton of sweet, so we got you covered on that too!
9. Popper Pancakes
We love jalapeno poppers so naturally we had to have that flavor come over to pancakes. Surprisingly really good!
10. “Loaded” Pancakes
We have made these a couple times and for fun we sometimes add some instant potatoes to the pancake mix to really get that fully loaded potato flavor. So filling and tasty!
11. Tex-Mex
These pancakes were a huge hit when we were trying to avoid making our breakfasts use a lot of eggs. Think of this as a soft pillowy pancake omelet (minus the eggs)!
12. Veggie Pancakes
These are so tasty they could easily be a side dish for dinner. This was an amazing way to use up leftover veggies too!
Pancake Ideas
Hopefully these pancake toppings ideas have inspired you to try something new for breakfast, a brunch, or just a fun breakfast for dinner night. I will say that I am not a huge fan of pancake syrup, so these ideas really make the syrup optional and not really needed at all!
