Sweet and Savory Topping Options
The obvious is all this with sweet toppings however the idea is to try also some savory options. Some examples are as follows:
1. Maple Syrup and Whipped Cream
The combination of maple syrup whipped cream is a no-brainer — the rich sweetness and light all go well with the cookie flavor. So, this is also good for someone who likes his or her food old-fashioned but still wants to indulge in richness cookie pancakes offer.
2. Fresh Berries and Honey
The photo above uses a mix of fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top (strawberry sauce not shown) which is also good if you want something fresher/more fruity. Drizzle it with honey for more sweetness and some floral depth (goes awesome with the berries).
3. Candied Bacon
Candied bacon is a topping you can not miss if you’re into the sweet and salty combo. The sweet cookie pancakes play tricks with your mind as soon you detect an equal sweetness from the maple bacon’s crispy, sugary edge–and it is a nice savory contrast to bite into.
4. Caramelized Bananas
I like to add a caramelized banana for a tropical spin. Bananas: sliced and caramelized with butter & brown sugar in a pan until golden sticky. Needless to say, the outcome is a luscious caramel but with a cookie twist that goes well on pancakes.

Toppings for a Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Flavor
You may have heard of chocolate chip cookie pancakes and these go great with the classic flavor (yes, you can even put syrup on it).
5. Chocolate Ganache
From scratch, chocolate pancakes made with cocoa powder topped off with warm chocolate ganache. To make the ganache, bring heavy cream to a simmer (globes of steam just starting to arise), then pour it over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth, and you are left with an ultra-creamy topping that any chocolate lover will appreciate.
6. Crumbled Cookies and Cream
Chocolate sandwich cookies ground to a fine powder add delightfully crunchy notes of fun to pancakes. Crush up your favorite biscuits and sprinkle them over the whipped cream that you have added to of pancakes. Similar to a breakfast cookies and cream parfait!
7. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chips
This one is for all of the peanut butter lovers. Layer with creamy peanut butter and sprinkle on some mini chocolate chips. The blend of salty peanut butter and sweet chocolate is just too hard to accept passing up.
Unique Toppings to Spice Up Your Pancakes
Get a little creative with your cookie pancake toppings for those who think outside the box – these unique selections are sure to shake things up:
8. Chai-Spiced Cream Cheese
Chai-spiced cream cheese may sound like a heavy, exotic topping for cookie pancakes, but it works. It can be a little crazy in here with the dancers and because this place is not very big, but it was downright quiet yesterday (aside from the waitresses who seemed to have a competition going on) Mix cream cheese with chai spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and clove then spread that all over your pancakes. These muffins are feeling, and spices are some of the ingredients that can make you feel warm from within with every bite because they bring depth to taste.
9. Matcha Powder and White Chocolate Drizzle
Then, for something a little fancier and less sweet, sprinkle more pancakes with matcha and white chocolate. White chocolate, which is creamy and sweet against the earthy bitterness of matcha — oh bb!! you will feel so good.
10. Toasted Coconut and Pineapple
Bring a bit of the tropics to your breakfast with toasted coconut flakes and pineapple chunks. The nutty flavor of toasted coconut and the juicy sweetness of pineapple create a refreshing contrast to the rich cookie pancakes.

- Add a Dusting: Sprinkle your pancakes with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or matcha for a little extra something. This will add some height to it and give you more flavor.
- Garnish Creatively: Fresh berries, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of cookie crumbs for garnish. All of this is just to color and give texture to the baby pancakes for them to look even more appetizing.
