Pancake Toppings: A list of popular toppings for pancakes that include favorites syrups, fruits, savory, healthy toppings like keto, and more!
We LOVE pancake recipes around here and find it fun to mix things up from time to time with toppings and “mix-ins”.
Usually, we’ll see what we have on hand in the pantry or the freezer and then experiment and see what kind of pancakes we can come up with!
So if you’re looking for pancake toppings ideas for a weekend breakfast or if you’re hosting a pancake bar for a party, then this list will come in VERY handy, but don’t forget to check on what you already have on hand, and see what kind of creations you can come up with!
