If offered at all, use only a tiny piece of plain fully cooked pancake with no toppings or sweeteners. Rich toppings and sugar-free syrups can carry higher risk, especially if xylitol is present.
Pancakes are griddle cakes made from flour, eggs, milk, and leavening, sold as homemade batter, boxed dry mix, frozen stacks, and restaurant servings. Mostly refined carbohydrate with added fat and sugar.
Common toppings include butter, maple syrup, honey, jam, whipped cream, chocolate chips, and fruit compotes. Many flavored mixes include sweetener and spice by default.
Restaurant pancakes and frozen stacks are often cooked with extra butter before toppings are added. Leftover stacks often hold sticky toppings between layers.
