20 Perfect Pancake Toppings



In the lead up to the launch of my eBook - Grain Free Pancakes, I've shared with you how to make grain free pancakes and now here are 20 Perfect Pancake Toppings:

1. Fresh Fruit - chopped bananas, strawberries, citrus zest/juice. For example, the below Grain Free Berry Pancakes have berries cooked into the pancakes as well as a topping of raspberries. (click here for the recipe)




2. Cream - you could drizzle over a little pouring cream or place a generous dollop of double/thick cream on top of pancakes for an indulgent treat. For example these Chocolate Fudge Brownie Pancakes are topped with a dollop of double cream and chocolate chips. (recipe coming in the Grain Free Pancakes eBook, soon!)


3. Sour Cream - a perfect topping for savory pancakes!

4. Honey - my kids love pancakes topped with honey. (where to find honey) For example these cashew pancakes are topped with a drizzle of honey. (click here for the recipe)



5. Maple Syrup - while the kids LOVE honey, maple syrup is my sweet pancake topping of choice. (where to find maple syrup)

6. Cinnamon - cinnamon is a rich anti-oxidant and delicious on sweet pancakes. (where to find cinnamon)

7. Custard - my Husband's favorite pancake topping!

8. Lemon Curd - perfect to balance the sweetness of ultra sweet pancakes.

I grew up with lemon juice with a sprinkle of sugar over it. My brothers girlfriend introduced us to butter with icing(confectioners) sugar on hot pancakes.
