  • When selecting the butter, make sure to use melted butter for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you are looking to add a bit of sweetness to the pancakes, adjust the sugar to suit your taste.

  • Replace the all-purpose flour with a combination of oat flour and almond flour for a gluten-free option. This substitution will make the pancakes more nutritious and provide a good source of fiber and protein.
  • Replace the buttermilk with a combination of almond milk and apple cider vinegar for a dairy-free option. This substitution will make the pancakes lighter and provide a good source of healthy fats.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes Add 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dry ingredients before mixing in the wet ingredients. Cook as directed.


Peanut Butter Pancakes Add 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter to the wet ingredients. Cook as directed.


Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus - A delicious side dish that complements the pancakes perfectly! The salty, smoky bacon and tender asparagus are a great contrast to the sweet pancakes. Plus, it's easy to make and full of flavor.


Grilled Lemon Garlic Salmon: This light and flavorful salmon dish is the perfect accompaniment to the pancakes. The lemon and garlic add a bright and zesty flavor, while the salmon provides a delicious source of protein. The salmon also pairs well with the bacon-wrapped asparagus, making it a great choice for a complete meal.

Yumma, Yumma! They came out flavorful and oh-so-very tender, they melted in your mouth. Better than most pancakes ordered at breakfast places too. Per family request - to some, chocolate chips or strawberries were added and others were left plain. Made for a quick Breakfast for Dinner menu. From my hubs mouth "there's nothing better than coming home to that wonderful pancakey aroma" and he loved these and so did the rest of the fam. Thank you, Kittencal, for sharing. Made it for WOTM and B'Zazzled tag games.

Good Lord these are mighty fine pancakes! I had mine dripping with maple syrup and lots of real butter. Good thing I quartered the recipe, because it made enough for me for a few days!

We made blueberry because they are our favorites. I cut the recipe down for the 5 of us and proceeded to make the most awesome tasting pancakes! Such a pleasure to serve and eat!

I love making different things for breakfast and these pancakes caught my eye. We tried them last week for the first time and they are fluffy and light. I topped ours with blueberry sauce and I will find all kinds of toppings for these delicious pancakes and have them many times again!

We love different things for breakfast so I have been going through recipes to find some we might like to try. These pancakes couldn't be any better in my opinion and my kids and husband agree with me. I usually serve fruit toppings with them and sometimes we just have them with syrup. No matter how they are done the plates are empty!
