Pancakes, in one form or another, are a favorite breakfast food the world over. The history of pancakes is a long one, as the food dates back over 30,000 years ago. Scientists have even found pancakes in the stomach of an iceman who lived over 5,000 years ago! Though there certainly isn’t anything wrong with even the most basic of pancake, there are some delicious recipes out there that take them to a whole new level. Next time you get a craving, maybe try one of these tasty variations out.

Chunky Monkey Pancakes

This pancake recipe from Female Foodie should come with a warning label. These things are so incredibly good, you will eat them well past the point of being full. These fluffy wonders are full of banana flavor, a nice bit of crunch from walnuts, and the chocolaty goodness of some chocolate chips. If you’re don’t love walnuts, you can always switch them out for a nut you prefer, or leave out the nuts altogether. Nuts or no nuts, these pancakes are still phenomenal.
