11 Awesome Sweet and Savoury Pancake Recipes
Pancakes doused in maple syrup are a Canadian staple for breakfast, but they're much more versatile than that! Enjoy them sweet or savoury, and for any meal of the day with some of our all-time favourite pancake recipes.
What's not to love about the humble pancake? A handful of pantry staples come together to make a delectable breakfast in no time. And if you don't have time to make them on weekdays, you can flip up a double batch on the weekend and freeze them for future use. They don't even need defrosting; just stick them straight in the toaster and voilà: breakfast in minutes!
But perhaps the greatest thing about pancakes is how adaptable the recipes are. Do you have some frozen berries in the fridge, or browning bananas on the counter? Into your batter they go. Did you run out of maple syrup? They're also great with honey, jam, or any kind of nut butter! Don't have much of a sweet tooth? Omit the sugar, add some savoury ingredients, and you've got lunch or dinner in minutes.
So whether you're looking for breakfast or dinner, we've got you covered with these terrific pancake recipes from our test kitchen:
1. The Ultimate Buttermilk Pancakes
Looking for a homemade version of the classic box mix pancakes? These buttermilk pancakes fry up like giant, fluffy clouds and will quickly become a family staple.
2. Chocolate Cherry Pancakes with Cherry Syrup
3. Smoked Cheddar Pancakes with Pickled Beets
These adorable mini pancakes might be small in stature, but they're still huge in the flavour department. Store-bought pickled beets make a super-quick and tasty garnish, so you can spend less time prepping for your guests and more time enjoying the party!
4. Okonomiyaki
This savoury Japanese pancake derives its name from the phrase "okonomi," meaning "how you like," because they are topped with whatever of your favourite foods you have lying around! Okonomiyaki makes a great starter for a small group or a hearty meal that serves one or two people.
5. Gluten-Free, Dairy-free Banana Pancakes
These flourless pancakes taste a bit like the centre of a piece of French toast. They're rich enough that no one would ever guess they were gluten- and dairy-free!
