    If you have heard of sweet cream pancakes, you might be thinking of some popular brands such as Krusteaz sweet cream pancake mix, Black Bear Diner pancake recipe, Pioneer sweet cream pancake mix, Black Bear Diner pancakes or Conestoga sweet cream pancake mix.

    While these are all great pancake recipe options, I would argue that homemade sweet cream pancakes are simply the best! Plus, they are super easy to make.

    Why this recipe works

    • These homemade pancakes are better than Krusteaz sweet cream pancakes and can be made with a few simple pantry ingredients! Top these fluffy pancakes with some bananas foster inspired Air Fryer Bananas for a breakfast you won’t forget!
    • Pancakes are a hearty and filling breakfast that the whole family will love!
    • Pancakes with whipping cream instead of milk is a decadent spin on a classic favorite.

    Ingredients

    Sweet Cream Pancakes

    • Flour: All purpose white flour.
    • Sugar: White or brown sugar.
    • Baking Powder
    • Salt
    • Heavy Cream: Heavy cream or heavy whipping cream. Can also use half and half for slightly lighter option.
    • Milk: 2%, 1%, fat free, whole or milk alternative such as almond milk, oat milk, pea milk, cashew milk or macadamia nut milk.
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste.
    • Oil or Butter: Oil, butter or alternative butter.

    Optional Pancake Toppings

    • Maple or Pancake Syrup
    • Fruit: Raspberries, strawberries, blackberries or blueberries.
    • Cinnamon or Pumpkin Spice
    • Whipped Cream

    How to make sweet cream pancakes

    1. In large mixing bowls, mix wet ingredients and mix dry ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients and thoroughly mix.
    2. Heat your pan, griddle or skillet to medium high heat. Grease your pan with oil, butter or non-stick cooking spray.
    3. Pour pancake batter mixture into pan (approx. ¼ cup per pancake).
    4. Cook until golden brown, flipping each pancake halfway.
    5. Top with your favorite pancake toppings such as an additional sprinkle of fresh berries, peanut butter, cinnamon and/or real maple syrup/pancake syrup and whipped cream.

    Tips to make the best pancakes

    • Make sure your baking powder is fresh. If you want to see those fluffy pancakes, you don’t want to use old ingredients.
    • Use a whisk to mix your batter. This will help avoid unwanted lumps.
    • Don’t over mix your batter! This will help keep pancakes fluffy.
    • Don’t crowd the skillet when cooking the pancakes. You want them to get a nice golden brown and don’t want them oozing into each other.
    • Wipe the pan between batches and re-butter your pan. This will help get the perfect golden brown and no burned flavor.
