Best Pancake Toppings

To get you ready for Pancake Tuesday we thought why not give you some inspiration for the best pancake toppings. There is so much choice when it comes to topping off your pancakes and we are here to give you a little help. We might be a little bit bias towards sweet toppings but nevertheless we have got you covered!

Best Pancake Toppings

Sugar & Spice

If you like your pancakes simple, just sprinkle on some normal sugar. You can opt for the very traditional sugar and lemon, or you can take it to the next level with another ingredient! Cinnamon sugar will be the best pancake topper you have ever tried! Combine sugar with as much cinnamon as you would like and and on top of your pancake. You can add in all kinds of other spices if you are into something a bit different such as ginger or nutmeg.

Sauce

For those who like good old maple syrup but want to change it up a little there’s is lots in store. You could go for honey, caramel or fruit syrups. Give it a go yourself and make it from scratch or head over to the store and just tell everyone you made it!

Chocolate

Well there are so many you could go with chocolate. You just can’t go wrong with Nutella. Shall we leave it there?! No but seriously, there are so many options for chocolate. Milk, dark, white, dairy free, sugar free, there is something for everyone. For something really over the top, you can grab your favourite chocolate bar such as Mars or Kinder Bueno and melt that on top.

Fruit

You can use plain fruit on top or pair it will any of the above for a match made in heaven! Berries and bananas are our top fruits to use. Top it off with a little bit (or a lot) of cream!

Nuts

Melt peanut butter over top and throw on some chocolate if you want it to taste like a Reese’s cup! There are great vegan alternatives as well if you want that taste but can’t have all the dairy. Alternatively crunch up some nuts such as peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pistachios or hazelnuts.

Savory

If you choose savory over sweet there are so many combos to choose from. Add eggs, bacon, ham, mushrooms or cheeses. You could also turn your pancake into a quesadilla with avocado, cheese, peppers and beans.
