PANCAKE ADD-IN INGREDIENTS:
You can either fold in these add-in ingredients or sprinkle them to the top.
Chocolate chips: Milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, white chocolate and mini chocolate chips. A combination of chocolate chips is always delicious too.
Nutella: add spoonfuls of Nutella to the pancakes and then swirl them with toothpicks.
Peanut Butter: add peanut butter to the batter or spread on top of pancakes. You can also use peanut butter chips.
Jam: spread on top of your pancakes instead of maple syrup for a fruity sweetener.
Diced apples and cinnamon: makes for a delicious spiced combo!
Fresh fruit: diced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and bananas are all great add-ins.
Chopped nuts: gives the pancakes a crunch. Pecans, walnuts and almonds are some of my favorites to add on pancakes.
Brown sugar and cinnamon: this will give the pancakes a cinnamon roll flavor.
Honey: extra sweetness or can be used in place of maple syrup.
STORING LEFTOVER BAKED PANCAKES
Storing leftover pancakes is easy. Enjoy these pancakes for the week or freeze them for later.
Refrigerate: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap or transfer pancakes to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. They will last up to 3-4 days. When ready to eat again, simply microwave or warm in the oven for a few minutes.
Freeze: Before storing, make sure the pancakes are completely cooled. Wrap the pancake in individual squares with plastic wrap and place in large heavy duty ziplock bag. Store for up to 2 months. Thaw completely and then warm in the microwave or oven.

Making these today for Easter and wondering if the maple syrup is considered a wet ingredient or if it’s listed only to serve with it.
Hi Gina! I hope you loved this pancake recipe. The syrup is considered a wet ingredient but if you left it out I’m sure it was still fine. Thanks for trying my recipe!
