What unusual things do you put in pancakes?

[The Little Penguin]

I used to make pancakes with cinnamon and shredded carrots in the batter. They were always a hit!

How about you?

The most adventurous I've been with pancakes is to add blueberries. But I do have an on-line friend who does a lot of innovative things with them.

He uses a whole grain pancake mix for his pancakes, and adds various vegetables or fruits. Corn, cut from a cob left over from last nights dinner, seems to be one of his favorites. He tops that one with margarine and a poached egg.
Sometimes he puts dried fruit, such as raisins or chopped plums, in the mix, and then tops the pancake with applesauce or cooked apple slices.

You took my idea jpmcgrew! I too will occasionally use stewed or sautéed apples. Then top with cinnamon! Wow, I’m wanting pancakes now.

Try the fruit yogurts on top you will be surprised how good it is.

I used to have a GF that put liver sausage between her stack of cakes
needless I did not eat any.

Sometimes I'll cook an egg in the middle of the pancake. That's fun.

Some others include:

Allspice
Blueberries
Vanilla

If my grandson is here he wants the usual recipe and chocolate chips added. He will be home the 15th and I will certainly enjoy making him some again.

I've been making sour cream, walnut and zucchini pancakes all summer, even my husband who hates zucchini and isn't wild about "fatcakes" eats these right up.

Add maple granola with almonds for a kicked up pancake, topped with apple butter and cool whip.

Jelly Belly jelly beans and m&ms. You have to be careful not to burn them though and eat them straight out of the pan with lots of butter. Great Sunday morning feast.
