Go all in on the chocolate with chocolate hot fudge sauce and chocolate ice cream.
Spread a layer of caramel sauce on top and sprinkle over chopped peanuts.
Fresh fruit, whipped cream and jam makes another great option.
You can even sprinkle over chocolate chips, diced fruits or sprinkles just before baking.
Can you make these ahead of time?
Your baked pancakes should be made and eaten on the same day because these are at their best when they are served warm and fresh.
If you want to split the batch in half you could bake half and then store the remaining batter in the fridge in a sealed container for a day or two before baking the second half.
