These are the most creative Pancake Day recipes you could ever need, courtesy of TikTok

March 4, 2025

Sweet-toothed readers, rejoice, as Pancake Day is officially upon us! This Shrove Tuesday falls on Tuesday 4th March and we could not be more excited to eat pancakes exclusively for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And perhaps a crêpe or two as a between-meal snack.

But what if you’re finding yourself stuck for pancake inspo? While we’re not averse to the traditional lemon juice and sugar toppings (sometimes the simplest combos are the best), we also can’t help but feel that Pancake Day is the perfect opportunity to get creative and try out combos that would usually have no place together on your plate. And where do you turn when you’re craving extra AF culinary wizardry? TikTok, of course!

From the Gen Z-loved social media platform that brought you the likes of cloud bread, giant s’more brownies and whipped coffee, we’ve scoured TikTok for the best recipes and topping ideas to have on hand this Pancake Day. Whether you like a traditional lemon and sugar gal or feel called to try a more inventive combo, there’ll be something in here for you.

For chocolate lovers, there’s Oreo pancakes and pancakes stuffed (yes, stuffed) with Nutella. For vegans, we found the best chocolate chip plant-based pancakes. And don’t worry if this is all sounding a bit too sugary for you, because we’ve found a Korean potato pancake tutorial that is going to make your mouth water just watching it.

If it’s rainbow shades you need in your life this Shrove Tuesday, funfetti pancakes are what you need – or if one is never enough, how about a giant sheet pan pancake?! Either way, we’ve got you covered.

Simply watch each TikTok tutorial for the full method and be prepared to level up your pancakes…
