What is Pancake Cereal?
Anyone wondering βwhat the heck is pancake cerealβ? Well if youβve been on TikTok to waste time over quarantine, then you have probably seen the #pancakecereal trend. Pancake cereal is made by cooking a lot of nickel-sized pancakes then piling them all into a small bowl so that they look like cereal to eat with a spoon!
Iβm gonna be honestβcooking up a ridiculous number of pancakes can be a little tedious, BUT if youβre looking doing it for the βgramβ or simply wanting something fun and different for breakfast, then itβs totally worth it.
How to Eat Mini Pancakes
Grab a bowl, a spoon and your favorite toppings because our eggless pancakes are very versatile. Pretty much however you like to top your regular-sized pancakes will work with these bite-sized pancakes.
Go with a classic like syrup and butter OR dress it up with berries, whipped cream, drizzled with SunButter or liquid sweetener, and topped with chocolate chips or sprinkles. The options are endless, and anything goes! Iβve even seen TikTokers eat it like a bowl of cereal, covered in milk. Not sure if I could enjoy it that way, but if YOU would, then GO FOR IT!
Vegan Pancake Cereal Ingredients
Now that youβre ready to try this new sensation, letβs talk ingredients:
Oat Flour: For this recipe, I was trying to find a healthier, gluten-free option and went with oat flour. And although my pantry was bare of this type of flour, I had plenty of rolled oats which I just pulsed in my blender until it was in flour form. If you are celiac, then make sure your oats are certified gluten-free. If you prefer good βol all purpose flour, then that also works in this recipe.
SunButter: Ya’ll know how much I love SunButter so it shouldn’t be a surprise that I tried to incorporate it into this recipe as well. It adds a little protein and an extra bit of yum to each mini-bite without being overpowering. I used the Sugar-Free and Organic variety but feel free to use your favorite one.
Banana: Since this recipe is egg-free, the banana is essential to making it sweeter, softer and all together delicious.
Dairy-Free Milk: I love using Flax Milk but you can use alternatives like coconut milk, soy milk, oat milk or even almond milk in this recipe depending on your allergens. However, alternative milk options such as coconut or oat milk are stronger in flavor and may leave a subtle flavor to them.
Baking Soda & Vinegar: No one wants a flat pancake which is why this combination adds plenty of fluff and rise to each little bite.
Just Date Syrup: I’ve been using this anywhere I can as a sweetener because its lower glycemic and made just from dates! They also have a Pomegranate syrup which is pretty darn amazing as a drizzle when these are ready to be devoured.
How to Make Vegan Pancake Cereal
- Make the batter. I simplified this recipe so all the ingredients can be placed in a blender and pulsed until the batter is smooth.
- Then, you need to put the batter into an empty condiment bottle which makes perfectly miniature little pancakes. If you donβt have a bottle, just use a ziplock bag β and snip the corner to pour. But instead of holding upright, hold it on a little angle because this batter is a little more liquified and youβll have a hard time stopping the flow.
- Preheat the pan at a high temperature then lower the temperature before piping the pancake batter. Because the pancakes are so small, itβs easy to burn them, so make sure itβs back down to med-low.
- Cook the pancakes 1-2 minutes or until little bubbles form on the tops. Use a flat spatula or set of chopsticks to flip. I like to flip a couple times until ensure a nice light brown color.
- When the pancakes are done, put them in a bowl and top with any of your favorite toppings.

Pancake Cereal Variations
Let creativity take over and add other ingredients to the pancake batter to make the cereal more festive and fun. My favs are mini chocolate chips and those little ball-shaped sprinkles.
If using the condiment bottle method, just sprinkle either onto your pancakes right after piping and before they start to bubble. When using a piping bag, both options should fit through the tip and can added directly into the batter.
