Mixing Bowl. Make sure you have a large mixing bowl for whisking up your pancake mix.

Now it's time for the top 10 pancake toppings...

1. Mocha Pancakes

Guaranteed to wake you up in the morning mix instant coffee powder, melted chocolate, sugar and butter in a blender and layer each pancake with a generous serve of the mixture. The complete opposite of healthy, these Mocha Pancakes are devilishly good!

2. Pizza Topping Pancakes

Pizza for breakfast is a naughty and usually hungover indulgent treat. To prepare your topping spread tomato puree and then layer mozzarella slices on top. Then go CRAZY with pizza toppings such as pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, capers, pineapple - the wilder the better!

3. A Halloumi Extravaganza

Halloumi, chorizo, garlic mayo and spinach ... need we say anymore?!

4. Go Savory With A Twist

Butternut Squash and Blue Cheese – unusual, but seriously good!

5. Cinnamon Roll Pancakes 

These pancakes are UNREAL. Mix cream, maple syrup, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and serve a generous dollop on your pancake stack.

6. You'll Either Love It Or You'll Hate It

Cheese and marmite - is there really a better pairing than that?!

7. Sexy Combo

Melt dark chocolate and sprinkle chilli on top for a hot and spicy effect!

8. One for the Vegans.

Prepare the pancakes with your favourite nut milk, banana and flour and then go crazy with maple syrup, banana and kiwi – YUMMY!

9. Hummous Lovers Delight

Hummous, Beetroot and Watercress = Sublime!

10.  Spicy Fajita Pancakes

Love a fajita?! Lightly fry onions, garlic, chillis, chickpeas, cauliflower and spinach. Once cooked place the ingredients in the centre of the pancake and then wrap as you would a normal fajita. To finish dollop natural yoghurt and coriander on top for an oh so delicious dish!
