Pancake Day 2025: 5 new flavours to tickle your tastebuds

MATCHA PANCAKES

Matcha is a flavour trend that doesn’t seem to be slowing down. With its distinctive bright green colour, range of health benefits and slight bitterness, matcha provides the perfect contrast with sweetness. Matcha pancakes are a great treat on the senses.

BIRTHDAY CAKE PANCAKES 
Who says birthday cake is just for your birthday? Birthday cake pancakes are a fun-filled flavour featuring buttercream, crunchy hundreds and thousands mixed   into the batter, topped off with icing sugar,  giving you a sweet treat worth celebrating. 

PISTACHIO PANCAKES
Pistachio pancakes blend nutty richness with a fluffy, golden texture. The subtle crunch of finely chopped pistachios, combined with hints of vanilla and a touch of honey, create a truly wholesome flavour. Why not top it off with some maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream.

PICKLE PANCAKES
If you love pickles, this one’s for you. Both hot and crispy with a satisfying crunch, pickle pancakes provide a classic tangy twist on the traditional recipe. You can mix chopped pickles into the batter or top your pancakes with slices, providing a unique savoury treat for the senses. For an extra kick, pair them with a creamy dipping sauce or a drizzle of hot honey.

COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES
Cottage cheese is a great recipe if you’re looking for protein pancakes. They’re fluffy with a slight tang. All you need is 3 ingredients: eggs, oats, and a touch of honey, giving you a nutritious breakfast that keeps you full longer. Whether topped with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt, these pancakes are a delicious way to start the day.
