Sweet Pancake Toppings

Fruit Frenzy

Fresh red fruit pancakes are always a winner, but why not branch out and try something a bit different this Pancake Day? Think beyond the usual strawberries and raspberries and explore the wonderful world of fruit! Sliced banana and coconut brings a creamy sweetness, while caramelised apples add a warm, comforting touch. For a real taste of luxury, try grilling some peach halves – the smoky sweetness is incredible with fluffy pancakes. Don't be afraid to experiment with different fruits and flavour combinations to create your perfect pancake topping.

Chocolatey Heaven

Let's be honest, who can resist a chocolatey drizzle on their pancakes? It's a classic combination for a reason! Or go for a sweet and sophisticated drizzle of chocolate fondue, with a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings for even more decadence. And of course, we can't forget the beloved Nutella – a dollop of this hazelnut chocolate spread is pure heaven on warm pancakes. For the ultimate indulgence, top it all off with a generous swirl of whipped cream. It's a chocolate lover's dream!

Stickylicious

For a classic sweet treat that never fails to please, drizzle your pancakes with golden syrup, maple syrup, or honey. But if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, why not try something a little different? A homemade salted caramel sauce adds a touch of sophistication with its rich, buttery flavour and a hint of saltiness.

Pancake Day might be in February, but who says you can't enjoy the taste of autumn? Our Pumpkin Spiced Syrup recipe adds a warm, comforting flavour to your pancakes. Want to add a grown-up twist to your pancakes? Try making our Whisky Maple Syrup Sauce recipe. The rich sweetness of maple syrup with a hint of smoky whisky is a truly grown-up treat.

Nutty Delights

Give your pancakes a bit of crunch with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, just like in our pistachio and maple pancake recipe. Alternatively, pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts all work a treat, adding a lovely texture and nutty flavour to your stack. For those with nut allergies try our Banana & Chia Seed Breakfast Pancakes, or use other seeds like sunflower and pumpkin that give a similar crunch.

If you're a fan of peanut butter, why not try a smooth and creamy peanut butter drizzle? Simply warm a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter in a heat-proof bowl, stir like crazy, then use the pointed end of a spoon to drizzle it over your pancakes. Easy peasy! It's a match made in heaven with the sweetness of the pancakes, and you can even add a pinch of salt for a delicious salty-sweet combo.

Savoury Pancake Toppings

Cheese? Please!

Cheese and pancakes? It's a match made in heaven! Go for a classic combo of grated cheddar and ham. Or, why not try something a bit more luxurious? Add a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan over your pancake, or a generous crumbling of feta cheese with a squeeze of lemon. The salty tang of the cheese perfectly complements the slight sweetness of the pancake batter, creating an exciting flavour sensation.

Meaty Treats

Wake up your tastebuds with a savoury pancake that's packed with protein! Crispy bacon adds a salty crunch that's simply irresistible, while a juicy sausage patty takes your pancake breakfast to a whole new level. You can even use up any leftover chicken – shred it up and add it to your pancake stack with a sprinkle of cheese and a dollop of your favourite sauce. Trust us, these meaty toppings will make your savoury pancakes a real winner!

Veggie Delight

Veggies can be the star of the show on Pancake Day too! Roast up a medley of your favourite veg, like mushrooms, peppers, and onions, and pile them high on your pancakes. Or, for a truly indulgent treat, try a vibrant spinach and ricotta topping. The creamy ricotta and earthy spinach create a delicious combination that's both satisfying and healthy. Don't forget to add a sprinkle of your favourite seasonings for an extra kick of flavour!

Runny Yolk Perfection

Want to take your savoury pancake to the next level? Just add an egg! A runny yolk oozing over a stack of fluffy pancakes is pure perfection. Whether you fry it, poach it, or scramble it, an egg adds a richness and protein boost that will keep you feeling full and satisfied. It's a simple addition that makes a world of difference. So go on, crack an egg on your pancake and enjoy a truly egg-cellent breakfast!

Spice It Up

Think pancakes are just for those with a sweet tooth? Think again! Give your stack a surprising twist with a dollop of salsa or a drizzle of hot sauce for a fiery kick. Or, if you like a bit more heat, why not try a pinch of chilli flakes? It might sound unusual, but the subtle warmth adds a wonderful depth of flavour, especially when paired with chocolate or fruit. Don't be afraid to experiment and find your perfect spice level!

Beyond the Basics

Ice Cream Dreams

Add a scoop (or two!) of your favourite ice cream for a cool and creamy treat. Whether you're a fan of classic vanilla, chocolate, or something a bit more adventurous like strawberry cheesecake or cookies and cream, there's an ice cream out there that will make your pancake dreams come true. Don't forget a drizzle of sauce and a sprinkle of toppings for the ultimate ice cream pancake experience!

Yoghurt Power

A dollop of Greek yoghurt adds protein and a tangy twist, but don't be afraid to get creative. Try swirling in some fruit puree, a sprinkle of granola, or even a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. You can even use a mix of yoghurts to create a colourful layered effect with different flavours and toppings. It's a delicious and versatile way to make your Pancake Day stack a bit healthier!

Sweet and Savoury

Feeling adventurous this Pancake Day? Why not try a sweet and savoury combo that'll tantalise your tastebuds! The unexpected mix of flavours creates a delicious harmony that's both surprising and satisfying. Think crispy bacon with a drizzle of maple syrup, or creamy goat's cheese with a drizzle of honey. These combinations might sound unusual, but trust us, they work a treat!
