Pancake day is the equivalent of Valentine’s Day for us food fiends, a day where you are OFFICIALLY allowed to eat pancakes pretty much all day (not that we wouldn’t anyway).
Now, what is a pancake?
Quite simply, it’s a cake that you cook in a pan. What makes it so awesome? … IT’S A CAKE YOU COOK IN A PAN. DUH.
We trawled the internet to see what it had to say about pancakes and found this:
PANCAKE / Something you eat for breakfast. I had pancakes this morning.
However, not to be confused with:
PANCAKES / A life changing miracle of fluffy happiness man. So i had some pancakes today, it was so great, i gave my pants to a hobo.
Anyway, to celebrate such a phenomenal day we scoured our recipe archives and dug out our tastiest pancake creations:
1. Vegan Pancakes
The pancakes are everything you want pancakes to be; soft, scrumptious, moist, tasty and filling. Top it with rich Vanilla Agave nectar and you have an absolute winner! Perfect for Vegans and Non-Vegans alike.
2. Easy Lemon Pancakes

3. Spinach & Blueberry Pancakes

4. Simple Pancakes with Choc Sauce (Dairy-Free)
Anyone looking for a Dairy-Free pancake option, look no further. These delicious pancakes with a rich choc sauce topping will hit the spot! (Sharing will be the only problem).
5. Chocolate Pancakes (Low-Carb)
Similar to our basic protein pancake recipe, except using ground almonds instead of oats making them perfect for those on lower carb diets. Have them simple or topped with your fave sauces or nut butters.
6. Protein Waffles (i.e. pancakes with abs)
What happens when your pancakes go to the gym? They become waffles. (Just like these damn fine Strawberry Vanilla Waffles.)
