Fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon are better together Each mouthful brings that cozy mix of pancake softness and bacon’s salty crunch making mornings a whole lot tastier

My crew went wild for these pancakes on a snowy weekend We always joke over who gets the crunchiest bacon bit No one ever takes just one helping when these hit the table

Tasty Ingredients

  • Bacon strips chopped and fried: the real star Use thick-cut bacon with a bit of fat and lots of meat Cook till crunchy but don’t let it burn
  • Butter for cooking: gives pancakes buttery crisp edges Pick unsalted so you can manage how salty it gets
  • All purpose flour: forms that soft base of the pancakes Sift it to keep lumps out
  • Brown sugar: keeps everything moist with a little extra caramel flavor Go for dark brown if you want a richer taste
  • Salt: ups the flavor by playing off the sweet and savory Use something fine for easy mixing
  • Baking powder and baking soda: gets your pancakes nice and pillowy Just check they’re not expired so they do their thing
  • Small eggs: everything holds together and gets fluffy Use fresh ones for best results
  • Vanilla extract: little sweet warm boost Pure vanilla gives best results
  • Milk or any dairy free milk: blends your mix and makes it soft Whole milk if you love extra fluffy pancakes

I’m guilty of flipping even more bacon in every time since that’s all my kids ever ask for We once went all out with maple candied bacon on top—gone in seconds at our family get-together

How to Store

Pop leftovers in the fridge for up to three days Stack with parchment in between so they don’t clump together Heat in a toaster oven or skillet to warm Or freeze them in layers with wax paper in a freezer bag Toast or bake straight from frozen They’ll come out just as good as fresh

Swaps and Substitutes

Turkey bacon or plant-based bacon crisps both taste awesome instead of pork Want gluten free Just use your favorite blend and add extra splash of milk if it’s thick Out of brown sugar White sugar or coconut sugar does the job

Ways to Serve

These pancakes steal the show but are awesome next to soft scrambled eggs or some fresh berries Maple syrup brings out their salty-sweet side Or go big—top with a fried egg Want dessert vibes Whipped cream works great

Recipe FAQs

→ Which bacon type works best?

Go for thick-cut, smoked bacon. It gives a chewy texture and adds a smoky richness when crisped up perfectly.

→ Is non-dairy milk okay?

Almond or oat milk are great choices, giving pancakes the same soft, moist texture as dairy milk.

→ How do I ensure fluffiness?

Don’t overmix the batter. Stir gently, let the leavening agents work, and avoid pressing down during cooking.

→ Should I save bacon grease?

Yes! Leaving a light layer in the skillet makes the pancakes extra flavorful and helps them brown nicely.

→ How do I serve these?

Top with butter, drizzle some maple syrup, or add more crispy bacon for that extra wow factor.

→ What’s the best way to store extras?

Cool them fully first, then pop into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Warm before eating for best taste.

Ingredients

→ Dry Ingredients

01 1 tsp baking soda
02 2 tbsp brown sugar
03 1/4 tsp salt
04 2 cups all-purpose flour
05 1 tsp baking powder

→ Wet Ingredients

06 2 small eggs
07 1 tsp vanilla extract
08 1 cup milk (you can use plant-based milk too)

→ Other Ingredients

09 3 tbsp butter for frying
10 8 oz cooked and chopped bacon strips

Steps

Step 01

In a blender, toss in milk, vanilla, eggs, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Blend quickly to combine everything. Add flour last and give it a short blend just until smooth. If using a bowl and whisk instead, sift the flour first to prevent lumps, then gently mix everything until it’s just blended. Don’t overdo it—nobody likes chewy pancakes!

Step 02

Warm up your skillet and cook the diced bacon until it’s nice and crispy. Once done, remove the bacon to set aside. Leave the leftover bacon grease in the skillet if you want extra flavor.

Step 03

In the same skillet over medium-low heat, toss in a little butter if needed. Scoop in your pancake mix and scatter some cooked bacon onto the wet batter. Cook for about a minute or two until the edges begin to look set. Once you notice bubbles on top, it’s time to flip! Keep going with the rest of the batter.

Step 04

Eat while hot! Enjoy them with a drizzle of syrup, some butter, or extra bacon. Got a lot of pancakes to make? Pop the finished ones in the oven on low heat until everyone’s ready to dig in.

Notes and Tips

  1. For a smoky taste, leave a little bacon grease in your pan. Too much? Just drain the extra. Don’t forget to add butter if the pan starts getting too dry as you go.
