Pancake Day is fast approaching and while lemon and sugar will always have a place, are you really going to stay basic?
This year, supercharge your Pancake Day with our favourite sweet and savoury pancake toppings – from indulgent chocolate spreads to spicy kimchi and proper American bacon with maple syrup.
Whether you're making classic British crêpes or fluffy American-style pancakes, these topping ideas will take things to the next level.
🍌 The Fruity Nutty One
Best for: Sweet pancake lovers who want texture and warmth
Our cinnamon raisin peanut butter is basically an all-in-one pancake solution. Warming spice, juicy raisins, nutty richness – done.
But if you’re feeling extra? Add sliced banana and crushed toasted hazelnuts for crunch and depth.
Essential Ingredient: Butter Bike Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter
Perfect for: healthy-ish Pancake Day toppings, banana pancake ideas, nut butter pancake fillings.
🍫 The Decadent One
Best for: Chocolate lovers
A rich chocolate spread paired with fruit is a Pancake Day classic. We love chocolate and raspberry for a sharp contrast, but chocolate and banana never fails.
Spread generously, fold, and finish with a dusting of icing sugar.
Essential Ingredient: Biona Milk Chocolate Hazelnut or Vegan Dark Chocolate spread
Perfect for: vegan Pancake Day toppings, chocolate pancake filling ideas.
🧀 The Savoury One
Best for: Lunch or brunch pancakes
Spinach and feta are best mates and make a brilliant savoury pancake filling. Add thyme or za’atar and thinly sliced red onion for depth.
Fill and fold while still in the pan so the feta turns slightly gooey before serving.
Essential Ingredients: Cypressa Feta; Organic Baby Spinach
Perfect for: savoury pancake recipes, feta and spinach pancakes, brunch ideas.
🥓 The American One
Best for: Proper indulgence
You don’t need us to remind you about the classic American pancake combo: crispy bacon and maple syrup.
But Ross’s incredible streaky bacon from Smoke & Cure takes it to the next level – especially when paired with rich dark maple syrup. Add a generous knob of butter and you’re there.
Essential Ingredients: Smoke & Cure Bacon; St Lawrence Gold Dark Maple Syrup
Perfect for: American-style pancakes, bacon and maple syrup pancakes.
🌶 The Spicy One
Best for: Something bold and different
If sweet isn’t your thing, go savoury, spicy and salty. Top your pancakes with kimchi and a handful of lightly dressed salad leaves (lime + soy works beautifully).
Unexpected? Yes. Delicious? Also yes.
Essential Ingredient: Jamie Ferments Kimchi or Vegan Kimchi
Perfect for: savoury Pancake Day ideas, spicy pancake toppings, vegetarian pancake fillings.
Whether you’re planning a classic Shrove Tuesday supper or a full Pancake Day brunch, we’ve got all the toppings to help you upgrade your stack.
