    What Are The Most Popular Pancake Toppings?

    According to the study, the most popular topping is the combination of lemon and sugar, followed by maple syrup and chocolate (Nutella). Bacon is also on the list as the best savory topping.

    What Can I Add On My Pancakes Instead of Syrup?

    If you’re looking for a change in your pancake regime, then skip the syrup and try a few of these substitutions instead. You can opt for some jam/jelly, fresh fruit or even fruit sauces. If you’re looking to add a bit more thickness to your bite, then reach for the peanut butter, chocolate or nutella. Or if you’re really looking for your pancakes to be extra hearty, top them with some eggs, bacon or ice cream! Let your cravings lead the way!

    Most Common Pancake Topping Ideas

    Maple Syrup

    Maple Syrup

    There is nothing better than the sweet taste of maple syrup on your pancakes. With hints of maple, caramel, vanilla, and prune maple syrup can be a bit complex in taste.

    Whipped Cream

    Whipped Cream

    All that fluffy goodness topped onto your pancakes is certainly something you can’t overlook. Made from heavy cream, confectioners sugar, and vanilla, whipped cream compliments your pancakes with every bite! 

    Melted Chocolate or Nutella

    Melted Chocolate or Nutella

    If chocolate is what you’re craving, then be sure to top your pancakes with some of your favorite melted chocolate or Nutella. It provides a bit of richness and compliments your fluffy pancakes by providing a bit more substance.

    Healthy Pancake Toppings

    Sliced Bananas

    Sliced Bananas

    Why not get a bit of potassium with your pancakes and top them with some sliced bananas?! You can mix mashed bananas into the pancakes batter, or simply add banana slices on top. Or if you’re really feeling ambitious, caramelize the bananas for an even sweeter taste.

    Sliced Kiwi

    Sliced Kiwi

    A sweet, refreshing fruit with a bit of a tart taste, sliced kiwi can add natural sweetness to each bite of your pancakes.

    Chopped Nuts

    Chopped Nuts

    If you’re looking for a bit of crunch in your bite, then chopped nuts are the way to go! Grab some mixed nuts for a bit more variety in taste, but be sure to chop them up finely so that they don’t overpower your pancakes.

    Fruit Sauce Pancake Toppings

    Peach Compote

    Peach Compote

    Step up your pancake game with this quick and easy peach compote! It’s made with fresh or frozen peaches, sugar, and lemon juice, plus it’s ready in just 15 minutes! Serve this homemade peach sauce on your pancakes, or anything else that could use a bit of a  fruity flavor.

    Apple Topping for Pancakes

    Apple Topping for Pancakes

    Take your fluffy old-fashioned pancakes to a new level by kicking them up with some fresh cut apples that are cooked in a cinnamon syrup glaze. Serve it with more syrup, powdered sugar, or simply eat them as is. It’s pancakes with chunky, ooey-gooey apple goodness!

    Blueberry Sauce

    Blueberry Sauce

    In just a few minutes, this blueberry sauce will come together for the best warm pancake topping. All you have to do is throw the blueberries, a little bit of water, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a low boil, and voila – blueberry sauce!

    Strawberry Topping

    Strawberry Topping

    It’s a 15-minute sauce recipe which means it’s quick and easy to make. You can’t go wrong serving this delicious topping on ice cream, cheesecake, and especially your pancakes!
