These pancake recipes include familiar milk and buttermilk batters, almond flour rounds, pumpkin spice pancakes and a tall souffle-style option. There are also cinnamon swirls, strawberry topping and a casserole made with already-cooked pancakes. Choose the texture and cooking method that suit your breakfast.
Most recipes below start with raw batter cooked in batches. The casserole starts with fully cooked pancakes and cooked sausage before an egg mixture is added. Almond flour behaves differently from wheat flour, so follow that recipe rather than swapping flour into another batter.
Pancake Recipes for the Skillet
Start here for plain batters or a different flour and mixing method.
1. Fluffy Pancakes with Milk, Vanilla and a Golden Finish
Milk and vanilla make a straightforward batter for small golden pancakes. This is a useful starting point when you want to choose your own serving toppings separately.
2. Buttermilk Pancakes with a Tender Fluffy Center
Buttermilk and melted butter give these pancakes a different batter from the plain milk version. A short rest comes before portioning onto the griddle in small rounds.
3. Almond Flour Pancakes with Eggs and Vanilla Flavor
Fine almond flour, eggs and almond milk make small pancakes cooked over moderate heat. Keep the rounds modest so they are easier to turn and cook through.
4. Fluffy Japanese Soufflé Pancakes
Whipped egg whites give these souffle pancakes their height. The low-heat, covered pan method includes a little steam and needs gentle turning to protect the airy batter.
Flavored Pancakes
Pumpkin, cornmeal, cinnamon filling and berry topping give these stacks distinct flavors.
5. Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with a Cream Cheese Drizzle
A brown sugar cinnamon spiral is added as each pancake begins to set. Cream cheese glaze is made separately, so this option delivers cinnamon roll flavors without yeast dough.
6. Pumpkin Spice Pancakes with a Tender Golden Crumb
Plain pumpkin puree and several warm spices are mixed into the batter. The result is a pumpkin-focused stack without a separate filling or fruit sauce to prepare.
7. Cornbread Pancakes with a Warm Honey Butter Syrup
Cornmeal adds texture to these buttermilk pancakes. A separate honey-butter syrup gives them a sweeter finish, making them different from savory corn hoecakes.
8. Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes with Cream Cheese Topping
Cream cheese appears in both the batter and the topping, with lemon-sugared strawberries alongside. Prepare the cold toppings first so the pancakes can be served after cooking.
Pancakes in a Breakfast Bake
This oven dish uses cooked pancakes as an ingredient rather than baking raw pancake batter.
9. Maple Pancake Sausage Casserole with Eggs and Cheddar
Pieces of fully cooked pancakes bake with sausage, eggs, maple syrup and cheddar. Choose this shared breakfast dish when an oven casserole fits better than cooking fresh stacks to order.
Before You Choose Your Recipe
Preheat the pan as directed and cook a test round before filling the surface. Thick pancakes may brown before their centers set, so use the heat level in the linked instructions. Prepare fillings or toppings first when the recipe separates them from the batter.
