Did you know today was a holiday? It’s National Pancake Day!! A day worth celebrating of COURSE. I thought I’d celebrate by giving you some of my fave pancake recipes. I don’t think you’ll be too surprised with my choices.
These are great recipes for a healthy breakfast, or even a delicious dinner. My family did breakfast for dinner all the time growing up. It is an easy way to feed the family a healthy dinner quickly, and provides a meal that most kiddies LOVE to eat.
I featured these Whole Wheat Pancakes back in December when my sister whipped them up for our family.
They are so tasty, and really hearty and filling. Click HERE for the recipe.
These Banana Pancakes are more than delicious, and super easy to make as well.

1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons Splenda (You could use agave, honey, or raw sugar here)
1/8 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup water

2 egg whites or 1 egg substitute
Directions: Mash bananas first. Mix together wet ingredients with bananas, and then add dry ingredients. Spoon batter onto hot griddle.
This recipe makes 5 servings of 2 pancakes each. Here are the stats…
Obviously, I would have to include something with peanut butter in it. These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes are To. Die. For.

This recipe for Blueberry pancakes is another one worth trying.
My favorite pancake toppings are sugar free syrup, lite syrup, peanut butter, spray butter, fresh fruit, fat free cool whip, nutella, and cinnamon sugar. It is only in the past few years that I have learned that peanut butter wasn’t a staple ingredient on pancakes and waffles for every household. It was just something I grew up with. I thought everyone did it??
I’m hungry now…Do you ever have breakfast for dinner? My family did all the time. Waffles were a favorite, pancakes, and omelets were all favorites of ours. What is your favorite breakfast for dinner meal? I love cereal. I know that is lame, but I do. Oatmeal is another meal I could eat all day long, but don’t worry I love pancakes, waffles, and omelets, too!
Yummy!!!! Love me some pancakes. We definitely do breakfast for dinner!
Wow, great recipes!! My kids would love the banana ones I bet! OK-now I’m reading the PB ones. PB right in the batter! I would be licking the spoon on those!! Thanks for sharing:)
I wish I had bananas, but I used the last of them yesterday making your banana crumb muffins!
Breakfast for dinner is amazing. I love waffles, cereal, oatmeal, pancakes… sometimes and egg burrito, but I don’t generally go for those.
I seriusly love brinner. It started when I was a kid and we’d come home from church and have pancakes or french toast. I am for sure trying the peanut butter choc chip pancakes this weekend. My hubby is turning 40 and he would love them.
I love McDonald’s breakfast stuff, despite the fact that I know better. It’s a good thing they don’t serve it all day or I’d be about 50lbs. heavier.
Every single one of these recipes looks AMAZING!!! I love pancakes so much…those banana pancakes are going on the top of my to-do list immediately.
Those look sooo good. Thats all I want now. Its been too long. Thanks for those healthy recipes!!

I love to have cereal for dinner sometimes. Especially if I’ve had a big lunch I like to eat light for dinner and cereal is perfect for that, or for lazy days 🙂

I LOVE breakfast for dinner! We usually have it once a week around here. Those peanut butter pancakes are on my list to try now! The kids (it’s great to have kids to blame things on) would love those!

Ohhhh, all of these pancakes look so good!! I have NEVER heard of PB on pancakes!! My husband puts jam on his pancakes and I think it’s just strange lol. I love cereal too.. If I didn’t have a family to cook for, I would probably live off it lol.
The banana pancakes look delicious! I love breakfast for dinner but I usually sick with eggs because I am egg obsessed. Thanks for the recipes!
We love breakfast burritos and homemade hashbrowns. 🙂
ALL these pancakes look super yummy. 🙂
I’m a new follower 🙂
The peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes look AMAZING! Yum yum.
We didn’t eat breakfast for dinner very often growing up, but my fiance’s family did so we partake from time to time 🙂
Breakfast is the best meal, so I eat it for dinner quite a bit! Banana pancakes always makes me sing the Jack Johnson song in my head.
I love and appreciate that you post healthy and healified recipes. I couldn’t find your recipe for zucchini bread, though, and would love to get if possible. Also, as a total culinary novice, what are some essentials you have stocked for baking and cooking in general? Basics? Spices? Frozen? Pretty much, I’m changing the way I eat–this means going beyond pouring skim milk over Honey Bunches of Oats–so any tips would be much appreciated. Also, sorry for the long-winded comment.
I LOVE BRINNER!! Girl, your pancakes look amazing. I will be making the pb and chocolate chip ones…drool! Hope you are having an amazing day and I loved seeing you last night!
