A build your own pancake bar is perfect for families with different tastes. It’s also a fun way to create a perfect breakfast for parties, family gatherings and special events.
Ahh pancakes. I’ve been dreaming of doing a pancake bar for the longest time. Over the weekend, I had my chance. My son and sister were both in town for my Dad’s birthday. You know I don’t like to make too much of a fuss, and this pancake bar was oh-so simple to put together and was a huge hit. Everyone in my family likes different pancakes topping, so this is an easy solution to that. I’m so excited to partner with Hungry Jack to share how I took pancakes and syrup to the next level, and turned an ordinary family breakfast into a breakFEAST!
Here’s what you need to put together the ultimate pancake toppings bar:
Hungry Jack pancake mix
Pancake bar toppings: mini chocolate chips, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, blueberries, whipped cream, and pecan halves (or choose your family’s favorites)
Hungry Jack syrup
A big appetite
First get your toppings in order. I simply used my everyday bowls and placed a spoon into each. The toppings I used are listed above, but sprinkles and Jif peanut butter also are listed above, but sprinkles and Jif peanut butter also make great toppings.
Next, mix up your Hungry Jack pancake batter according to package directions. Oil your griddle and set to medium-low heat. Oster sent me an amazing griddle to use. Be sure to enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post for a chance to win your own, along with a waffle maker and an assortment of Hungry Jack products to make your own breakFEAST! Pour scant 1/4 cup of batter onto hot griddle to make pancakes. Fry until golden and bubbly, about 2 minutes on each side.
Once all the pancakes are made and placed onto a platter, warm the Hungry Jack syrup in the microwave.
I love that Hungry Jack’s syrup bottle is designed to fit right into the microwave, allowing the entire family to savor the warmth and deliciousness in every bite. You’ll love that the easy pour cap ensures your pancake breakFEAST will be mess-free.

I would use the hungry jack waffle mix so the kids can get involved in making their own and top it with a cinnamon drizzle and iced frosting they are so good and taste like cinnabuns 🙂 the kids love them and you can top it with hungry jack syrup
I would make a huge Sunday BreakFeast for hubby and the kids… pancakes, waffles, bacon and lots of syrup
My whole family gets so happy when I make pancakes and I usually make them for dinner. So I would make a huge Hungry Jack pancake dinner for my family!
With the Hungry Jack Pancake Mix and Syrups, we could use the newly won waffle makes and make Blueberry Waffles. Add your own Blueberries and Cream.
I would ass some pecans to the pancake mix and use that yummy cinnamon brown sugar Hungry Jack syrup! Yum Along with some bacon.
Looks like a great set to make some lovely pancakes! I’ve yet to try Hungry Jack’s but when I do get one I’ll put it on my pancakes as soon as possible.
I would make some yummy pancakes and add some cream of coconut to the syrup for a tropical treat.
Blueberry pancakes are the best .. breakfast, lunch or dinner or in between.
