December 17th marks National Maple Syrup Day, and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate the liquid gold! Pancakes are a breakfast classic, and let's be honest, they're made even more irresistible with a generous drizzle of warm maple syrup. In fact, we believe that the syrup truly makes the pancake great. But why stick to the same old pancakes when you can transform them into a Pancake Pizza? This recipe is a delightful twist that's easy, quick, customizable, and can even be made in a healthier way. Let's dive in!

Additional Options:
Feel free to get creative with your toppings! The possibilities are endless. Some suggestions include various berries, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or even a strawberry drizzle instead of nut butter. For a sweet and savory combination, consider adding bacon as a topping. If you have picky eaters or simply want to offer a variety, try adding different toppings to different sections of the pizza, such as blueberries, chocolate chips, bacon, and more. The choice is yours!
