Add a healthy dose of fiber to your pancakes with the addition of whole oats. “I often make these oatmeal pancakes for my kids. The recipe is so simple—the batter with oats and buttermilk is prepared in a food processor or blender, so it’s ready to cook in minutes,” says Allrecipes member mom2hhh.
Truck-Stop Buttermilk Pancakes
“A yummy breakfast treat, and very easy to make! Serve with bacon or sausage, and some fried eggs, wonderful,” says recipe creator Steve Whiting. “Batter will keep in the fridge for a couple of days if you can’t make it all at once, or you can freeze and make it at a later date.”
Grandad’s Pancakes
“With a recipe like this there is absolutely no reason to buy a box mix ever again,” says Baking Nana. “I am one of those oddballs that doesn’t like syrup on my pancakes so the sugar in this recipe added just the right amount of sweetness.”
Vegan Pancakes
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
No eggs, milk, or butter, these vegan pancakes are a life-saver when your dairy stock is low. Reviewer odiebear’s_mom says, “I tried this recipe this morning for my son and I and they were wonderful!! I especially loved the fact that the ingredients were things I already had in my pantry. No ‘fancy’ ingredients that I would have to substitute.”
Cottage Cheese Pancakes

“Five stars because I assumed this would be another ‘diet’ food that I’d have to choke down while pretending to eat what I wish it was,” says reviewer siouxsiesioux. “I have to say, I loved these. The pancakes have the texture of french toast which is great because I love french toast.”
German Apple Pancakes
“Also known as a Dutch baby, this is a terrific ‘special day’ recipe. If you are strapped for time, you can start it the evening before and pretty much pop it in the oven,” says recipe creator Mollie_Cole. “The presentation is excellent! You can shorten the preparation time by using apple pie filling, but the crisp of new apples really makes it.”
Mom’s Buttermilk Pancakes
One Allrecipes reviewer says, “These were the BEST buttermilk pancakes! They were super easy to make. If you have 3 or more people, I would double the recipe.” Real buttermilk is the key to this easy recipe.
Dutch Babies

Dutch babies, sometimes called German pancakes, are even easier to make than traditional pancakes. Simply pour the batter into a heated cast iron skillet and pop it in the oven. “Wow, this recipe was SO good! Very impressive the way it looks when it’s done, too,” says reviewer cookinmama.
Old-Fashioned Pancakes

Chef John teaches you how to go above and beyond the box mix. Take it from reviewer Dal-Pal, “I’ve tried numerous pancake recipes over the years, but this is the first recipe I’ve found that truly matches the flavor, fluffy texture, appearance and convenience of a box mix.”
Todd’s Famous Blueberry Pancakes
Reviewer SPETROVICH says, “This is a top of the line blueberry pancake recipe. It always comes out perfect—fluffy, yet not cake-like. It’s very moist with the blueberries; not a dry pancake at all. I even made it without the blueberries one time because we ran out, and it was delicious, too. But the blueberries put it in first gear!” Keep frozen blueberries on hand at all times so you can enjoy these pancakes anytime—or use fresh when they’re in season.
Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
“Sweet and delicious buttermilk pancakes with a butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon swirl filling,” says Allrecipes member squeeziebrb. “These are great any time of the day and less time consuming than making real cinnamon rolls!”
Quick Almond Flour Pancakes

“These almond flour pancakes are a wonderful substitute for regular pancakes when watching your carbs!” says Allrecipes member Allie. “They are very filling and are on the dense side. This is a basic recipe that can be tweaked. Any sweetener can be substituted for maple syrup.”
Authentic Swedish Pancakes

“This Swedish pancakes recipe was taught to my father by his mother, who was born in Sweden. My father then passed this authentic recipe to me,” says Allrecipes member Amber Adamson Kincheloe. “Kids love them, and there are never any leftovers when I make them. Spoon melted butter over the pancakes and sprinkle with sugar or serve with lingonberry sauce.”
Fluffy Flapjack Pancakes
Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
“These flapjack pancakes are quick, easy, and turn out fluffy every time,” says Allrecipes member Jackie HealthyWitness. “The recipe can be easily adjusted to your dietary needs, too. I have tried many recipes; this one is simple, yummy, and fail-proof! A word of caution: they’re very filling.”
Pumpkin Pancakes
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
Bring the flavors of fall into your kitchen by adding a little pumpkin puree, allspice, cinnamon, and ginger to your pancakes. “We ate Pumpkin pancakes at the restaurant, IHOP, last winter,” says reviewer Tammy M Curry. “I have searched for recipes to try and duplicate the pancakes…this recipe took the first place ribbon.”
Buttermilk Pancakes
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
This recipe requires buttermilk, for a classic, fluffy pancake. Reviewer KLUGLE says, “These have become my default pancakes. I made them again this morning. Use the old baker’s tricks of letting your buttermilk, milk and eggs sit out for an hour before baking to get to room temperature and you’ll get increased fluff on these. And don’t overmix.”
Banana Pancakes
DOTDASH MEREDITH FOOD STUDIOS
Looking for a way to put those brown bananas to use? These made-from-scratch banana pancakes are sure to be a crowd pleaser. Reviewer CINJOY4 says, “What wonderful pancakes! I made a plain batch and then a batch with toasted pecans added to the batter. Both excellent!”
