Ingredients:
- 2 cups pancake batter (any type you prefer)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)
- 1/4 cup colorful sprinkles
- 1 condiment bottle with a cone-shaped top/lid
- Cooking spray or butter, for greasing the pan
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- Prepare your favorite pancake batter according to the package instructions. If you’re using a homemade recipe, mix the ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
2. Add Sweetness:
- Pour in 1/2 cup of maple syrup into the pancake batter. Gently fold it in until well combined. This will add a delightful sweetness to your pancakes.
3. Prepare the Spirals:
- Transfer the syrup-infused pancake batter into a condiment bottle with a cone-shaped top/lid. This will make it easier to create spirals on the pan. If you don’t have a condiment bottle, you can still use a Ziplock bag by cutting a small corner.
4. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over low heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Squeeze the pancake batter in a spiral shape onto the pan using the condiment bottle. Start from the center and work your way outward to create a spiral pattern. Make sure the pancakes are not too thick for easier flipping.
5. Cook on Low Heat:
- Cook the pancake on low heat to ensure it cooks through without burning. Keep an eye on the edges; when they start to slightly brown and the bubbles on the surface pop and stay open, it’s time to flip the pancake.
6. Flip Carefully:
- Gently flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook the other side until it’s golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve and Decorate:
- Remove the spaghetti pancakes from the pan and place them on a plate.
- Drizzle extra maple syrup over the top for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Sprinkle colorful sprinkles generously over the pancakes while the syrup is still sticky. The sprinkles will stick to the syrup, adding a burst of color and fun to your pancakes.

Q1: Can I use a different type of syrup for these pancakes? A1: Certainly! You can use flavored syrups like strawberry, blueberry, or even chocolate syrup to add different layers of taste to your spaghetti pancakes. Experiment with different syrups to find your family’s favorite combination.
Q2: Can I make the pancake batter from scratch? A2: Absolutely! Feel free to use your favorite homemade pancake batter recipe. Just ensure it’s not too thick, so it’s easy to create the spirals. Adjust the consistency by adding a bit more liquid if needed.
Q3: Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time? A3: Yes, you can prepare the pancake batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to make the spaghetti pancakes, give the batter a quick stir before transferring it to the condiment bottle or Ziplock bag.
Q4: Can I freeze leftover spaghetti pancakes? A4: While these pancakes are best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze leftovers. Allow the pancakes to cool completely, then layer them between sheets of parchment paper and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Reheat in a toaster or microwave when ready to enjoy.
Q5: Can I add other toppings besides sprinkles? A5: Absolutely! Get creative with your toppings. Whipped cream, sliced fruits, mini chocolate chips, or crushed nuts are great options. Let your imagination run wild and customize your spaghetti pancakes to suit your taste.
Q6: Can I make mini versions of these pancakes? A6: Yes, you can make mini spaghetti pancakes for a fun and bite-sized treat. Use a smaller opening on the condiment bottle or Ziplock bag to create smaller spirals. Adjust the cooking time accordingly since mini pancakes cook faster than larger ones.
Q7: Can I use whole wheat or gluten-free pancake batter? A7: Yes, you can use whole wheat or gluten-free pancake batter to make a healthier or gluten-free version of these spaghetti pancakes. Just ensure the batter is smooth and easy to pipe onto the pan.
Q8: How do I clean the condiment bottle after use? A8: After using the condiment bottle, rinse it thoroughly with warm soapy water. You can also use a bottle brush to clean the inside. Make sure it’s completely dry before storing it to prevent mold growth.
Enjoy making these delightful Spaghetti Pancakes with your unique twist, and have fun experimenting with different flavors and toppings! 🥞🌈
