Every American kid knows what pancakes are – the fluffy, round disks of breakfast deliciousness that can be served with everything from butter and syrup to bacon and eggs.<\/p>\n

I grew up eating pancakes almost every day. My mom would make a big batch of pancakes to feed my brother and me, plus my dad and grandparents, who always joined us for breakfast.<\/p>\n

There were never any leftovers because we would all eat so many!<\/p>\n

As an adult, I still love pancakes. I usually make them on Sundays, after sleeping in and craving something comforting and familiar.<\/p>\n

To me, pancakes are the perfect food. They’re easy to make, filling, and versatile. You can eat them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – and there are endless ways to top them or fill them.<\/p>\n

Here, I’ve listed 20 delicious side dishes that will take your pancake experience to the next level!<\/p>\n

    Syrup<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    This is the most popular and arguably the best, topping for pancakes. It’s sweet, sticky, and just what pancakes were made for!<\/p>\n

    Bacon<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Who doesn’t love bacon? The salty, savory taste of bacon pairs perfectly with the sweetness of pancakes. Just make sure you don’t put too much oil, or it will be too greasy.<\/p>\n

    Peanut Butter<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Beyond my funny childhood stories about peanut butter, this is one of the best toppings for pancakes. The creamy, nutty taste goes so well with the fluffy texture of pancakes.<\/p>\n

    Be careful to measure out the amount you use, as peanut butter can be very calorie-dense.<\/p>\n

    Nuts<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    If you’re looking for a crunchy topping, try nuts. They will make you go nuts… with joy!<\/p>\n

    I love adding nuts to my pancakes for some extra crunch. Almonds, walnuts, and pecans all work well. You should make sure they’re chopped up so they don’t get stuck in your teeth!<\/p>\n

    Scrambled Eggs<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Who doesn’t love scrambled eggs? They’re a great way to start your day. I like to add some cheese to my scrambled eggs, but you can leave it out if you’re watching your calories.<\/p>\n

    This is a great option if you’re looking for something savory. You won’t regret it!<\/p>\n

    Lemon And Sugar<\/h3>\n
    \"\"
    The combination of sweet and tart is always a winning move, especially when I want to keep things light.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    I love the way the sugar crystallizes on the pancakes when you pour the lemon juice over them. Sometimes, you can just put slices of lemon and a pinch of sugar by the side and eat your pancakes with them. Interesting right?<\/p>\n

    This is a classic topping for pancakes, and with good reason. The tartness of the lemon contrasts perfectly with the sweetness of the sugar. It’s a simple, but delicious, combination.<\/p>\n

    Vanilla Bubble Syrup<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    This is my favorite syrup! It’s made with vanilla extract, sugar, and water. You can find it at most grocery stores.<\/p>\n

    Trust me, you really need to try this unique syrup. The taste is out of this world. And the bubbles add a fun element to your pancakes.<\/p>\n

    Toffee Sauce<\/h3>\n
