Whether you’re flipping thin classic crepes or thick fluffy American-style stacks this Shrove Tuesday, there’s one thing that never fails to take your pancakes to the next level: Freda’s Peanut Butter.
Creamy, rich and packed with flavour and nutrition, it’s the perfect partner to golden pancakes this Pancake Day.
Our classic Freda’s Pancake Stack recipe is a must-try if you’re looking for that crowd-pleasing brunch favourite — warm pancakes layered with fruit, melted dark chocolate and drizzled with a generous ribbon of your favourite Freda’s Peanut Butter (we love Cornish Sea Salt for this), finished with sliced banana and crunchy peanuts.
But why stop there? Peanut butter is incredibly versatile on pancakes — whether stirred into batter, swirled through toppings or paired with sweet fruit, it brings rich flavour and texture to every bite.
Here are some delicious alternative ideas to mix things up this Pancake Day 👇
🥜 1. Peanut Butter & Banana Pancakes
A classic combo for a reason — sweet, fruity banana and rich peanut butter play beautifully together.
Stir a couple of tablespoons of your favourite Freda’s peanut butter into the pancake batter, or
Spread Freda’s over warm pancakes and top with sliced bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup.
The banana adds natural sweetness and keeps things moist and satisfying.
🍫 2. Choc-Chip Peanut Butter Pancakes
Turn your stack into an indulgent treat worthy of Pancake Day dessert status.
Mix chocolate chips into the pancake batter, then spread a smooth layer of Freda’s Peanut Butter on top of warm pancakes.
Add sliced bananas or berries too — or fold in little chunks of dark chocolate for extra decadence.
🥞 3. Peanut Butter Pancakes With Peanut Butter Sauce
For peanut lovers everywhere — make the peanut butter part of every layer.
Try a pancake batter enriched with a spoonful of Freda’s Peanut Butter, as featured in many peanut-buttermilk pancake recipes.
Serve with a quick peanut butter sauce: warm up extra Freda’s with a splash of milk and a drizzle of maple syrup for a glossy, drizzle-ready finish.
🍓 4. Peanut Butter & Berry Jam Stack
Sweet and tangy berry jam pairs perfectly with creamy peanut butter.
Layer pancakes with Freda’s Peanut Butter and your favourite raspberry or strawberry jam,
Top with fresh raspberries or strawberries and a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for texture.
UK recipe inspiration shows raspberry jam and peanut butter is a winning pairing.
🌱 5. Vegan Peanut Butter Pancakes
Hosting friends or family with dietary preferences? These work beautifully.
Use plant-based milk and mashed banana to create vegan pancake batter with Freda’s Peanut Butter folded in.
Stack high, drizzle with more peanut butter and scatter berries or chocolate chips on top.
🌟 Top Tips for a Perfect Pancake Day
✨ Warm the peanut butter slightly before drizzling — it becomes luxuriously pourable.
✨ Add fresh fruit and crunchy nuts for colour, texture and balance.
✨ Go savoury with a twist: peanut butter with a sprinkle of sea salt and chilli flakes — perfect with ricotta or yoghurt.
Peanut butter isn’t just a topping — it’s the star of the show this Pancake Day. Whether you’re hosting brunch with friends, feeding the family or treating yourself, Freda’s flavours bring warmth, depth and delight to every stack.
Happy flipping! 🥞
