TikTok’s ‘Scrambled Pancakes’ Are the Easiest Way to Make Breakfast

If you’re looking to upgrade one of the most traditional go-to breakfast dishes around, TikTok has you covered. Meet the latest internet sensation: scrambled pancakes.

This latest food craze sounds interesting for sure, but if you’re wondering just what it entails, here’s everything you need to know about what scrambled pancakes are, how to make them, and why you’ll want to give them a try.

What Are Scrambled Pancakes?

Scrambled pancakes are exactly what they sound like. They are pancakes that have been scrambled before completely formed and come out in bite-sized pieces rather than a flat, round shape like traditional pancakes. They’re easy to make, especially in bulk, and can be topped with just about anything you like.

Many are taking to TikTok to try this latest recipe hack. TikTok user @sohonutrition says, “If you haven’t already, you need to try scrambled pancakes! It’s such a nice change up from your regular pancakes and so tasty, too.”

How to Make Scrambled Pancakes

To make these pancakes, all you need to do is melt butter on a frying pan and then pour the batter in. Cook for a couple of minutes, and then scramble with a spatula like you’d do with your eggs. No need for perfect circles here!

TikTok user @archivedchef says it’s important to “make sure most of the pieces get golden brown” and then you can add whatever toppings you like. Think powdered sugar, berries, and maple syrup—pretty much anything you already use to top your traditional pancakes, you can pour over this scrambled version.

Why People Are Loving Them Right Now

Scrambled pancakes are super easy to make and come together fast which is great for anyone looking to enjoy a hearty breakfast without a lot of time to do it.

TikTok user @bluewaterhome says these pancakes “were honestly so good” and rather than tasting like traditional pancakes, “they were more like a funnel cake.” However, they note that adding ingredients like chocolate chips directly into the batter while cooking can make these pancakes “come out like mush.”

The most compelling reason to make pancakes this way? It alleviates the pressure to achieve the perfect flip.
