Tips for the BEST Bacon Pancakes
- Only mix your pancake batter until the ingredients are just combined. Over-mixing will lead with denser pancakes.
- If you’re making pancakes for a crowd, keep them warm in a 200 degree oven. Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet or oven safe dish, uncovered.
- Top with real maple syrup! Yum.
How to Store Bacon Pancakes
Keep leftover bacon pancakes tightly wrapped in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
You can also freeze pancakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
Freezing them on the sheet pan first keeps them from sticking together when they freeze.
Reheat in the microwave in 30 second increments until warmed through. (No need to thaw out frozen pancakes.)
About the Ingredients for Bacon Pancakes
Bacon – Use your favourite type of bacon. Just make sure you cook it until it is just perfectly done.
Flour – Spoon and level the flour when measuring it, otherwise you’ll wind up with dense bread.
Sugar – Just use plain old granulated sugar. (Can also substitute with your favourite granulated sugar substitute or or brown sugar.)
Baking Powder – Leavens the bread, make sure it is still active so your quick bread rises.
Milk – Use whatever type of milk you have on hand. Don’t swap with water.
Butter – I like to use butter for pancakes as it adds more flavour but you can also use a neutral flavoured oil.
Egg – Room temperature egg is best.

this is a new idea for me but since I love both pancakes and bacon….. I even had to show my oldest son how I make pancakes (I don`t measure etc so there was no recipe to hand over) so that he could make them for his family and he fried up bacon to go with them too 🙂
wow, this sounds really good, I’m going to have to give this one a try..yummy
This is incredible! I have never thought about making Bacon Pancakes like this! I have to make this recipe! This looks so delicious and we all love bacon with pancakes!

My favourite breakfast foods all rolled into one!
These have been a regular since I first came across your recipe a while ago….pancakes have never been the same lol

I plan on making these bacon pancakes soon-maybe tomorrow morning. The bacon would be crisp so would not add too many fat calories. It would also be a tasty surprise to whoever was eating the pancakes.
Thank you for this recipe.
I like this idea very much, I wonder if you could freeze them then pop them in the toaster when you wanted a quick snack ?
I have never tried these but I bet they are so splendidly delicious with maple syrup.What a great idea!
