9 Favourite Pancake Fillings
If you read my blog regularly, you’ll know by now I have a sweet tooth. I always find it easy to come up with the sweet pancake fillings. Not so easy to think of the savoury ones. This year as Pancake Tuesday is falling on my midterm break, I will have more time to think about what to put in the pancakes and we will have savoury as well as sweet ones. My basic pancake recipe is here. These ideas for fillings are all dairy free. They are all a hit with the kids as well as the adults.
Savoury Pancake Fillings
Pancakes with homemade tomato sauce topped with torn ham. The boys had (dairy free) crêpes like this in France a few years ago and loved them.
Crêpes with fried egg and a drizzle of mayonnaise.
Pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup. My Canadian friend Laura introduced me to this wonder of putting maple syrup on bacon. I was skeptical at first but completely converted in one taste.
Crêpes with fried mushrooms* and garlic. You can add some grated dairy free cheese to this too if you wish.
*I lied, my little ones won’t eat mushrooms!
Dessert Pancake Fillings
Pancakes with fresh berries – strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, whatever is in season and whatever is available. Drizzle over with some dairy free yogurt or maple syrup.
Pancakes with dairy free ice-cream and sprinkles. Vanilla Swedish Glace or Coconut Nobó would be delicious.
The old favourite – Pancakes with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar. This is what we always had as kids and is still my favourite.
American Style Blueberry pancakes drizzled with a little honey or maple syrup.
Pancakes with chocolate spread, sliced banana and mini marshmallows. These are delicious but so so sweet. You might want to leave out the marshmallows if your kids go a bit super crazy on sugar like mine do. It’ll still be sugar laden but not as bad.
This chocolate spread from Plamil is dairy free and can be got from Holland and Barrett and other health shops around the country.
What do you like to put on your Pancakes?
I am sooo hungry after all those lovely images and suggestions!
I’m hungry myself looking at them! Thanks for popping by!
Ooh lovely ideas here! Printing this off to bring home and use tomorrow evening. Possibly with shop bought Superquinn pancakes – don’t tell anyone :)
Oh wow you’re printing it :) There’s a compliment! Let me know which ones you try. I have dairy free choc spread for the boys for first time this year, they will be made up! And no harm on the shop bought ones, the fillings will be home made. :)
