Butter and maple syrup aren’t the only delicious ways to decorate our pancakes. Here are our other favorite pancake topping ideas to wake up your taste buds in a new way.
Sweet Pancake Topping Ideas
Let’s start with the sweet stuff. From fruit to dessert-worthy toppings, here’s some pancake inspiration to please your sweet tooth:
- Fresh berries + whipped cream. Use strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, or anything in season. You can even make your own whipped cream! For a plant-based option, make light-as-air whipped coconut cream.
- Chocolate sauce. Use store-bought sauce or make your own without any dairy.
- Candied nuts. Walnuts, sesame seeds, almonds, or any of your favorite nuts add crunch and healthy fats to your pancakes.
- Chia pudding. Make smooth, creamy chia pudding as a healthy pancake topper with fiber and satiating fats.
- Jam. Use any fruit jam you love to add sweetness and color to your stack of pancakes.
- Pumpkn puree. You can add a dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for a warming pancake topper.
- Caramelized apples. Cook diced apples n a bit of butter with a sprinkle of brown sugar for a pancake topping ideas that tastes like apple pie.
- Yogurt. Use regular or vegan yogurt with a sprinkle of MuMu Muesli for a satisfying and healthy breakfast (or dinner!)
Savory Pancake Topping Ideas
If you’d rather go savory than sweet with your pancakes, you’ll love these topping suggestions:
- A fried egg. This adds protein and fat to keep you full and satified.
- Roasted or sauteed vegetables. Cook up your favorite veggies, like caramelized onions and mushrooms or roasted squash, for a healthy, plant-based topping.
- Pesto sauce. You can make your own easy pesto sauce that’s vegan or not. It adds refreshing, herby flavor and umami to the plate.
- Roasted tomatoes. Tomatoes turn jammy and the flavor concentrates beautifully, making them an easy and delicious vegan pancake topper.
- Kimchi or other fermented products. Sauerkraut and kimchi are both naturally saucy, savory toppings for pancakes. The probiotics in fermented foods are great for gut health, too!
- Savory yogurt sauce. Try making tzatziki, curried yogurt or any other seasoned yogurt on your flapjacks.
- Melted cheese. You can use any gooey melted cheese you like, or make vegan cheese with cashews.
