As IHOP announced that flip’d by IHOP will be opening this summer, the highly anticipated pancake bowls will be joining the menu. While the “bowl” isn’t a new concept, a pancake bowl could replace those baked oats, pancake cereal and a variety of other food trends. Ready to get a taste of one?
According to IHOP, the Signature Pancake Bowls will feature the brand’s world-famous Buttermilk Pancakes. Those pancakes will be topped with a variety of mix-ins plus real whipped butter.
It will be interesting to see what mix-ins will be available. While some people will want some fruit (or healthy-ish) options, many people might want to turn this idea into pancake dessert. From chocolate chips to caramel drizzle, there are many ways to bring the sweet to the bowl.
For guests who prefer to leave the toppings to the experts, the Strawberry Banana bowl is a tasty choice. The banana pancakes will be combined with more bananas, strawberries and whipped topping. In a way, this pancake option offers the perfect balance in every bite.
What would you put in pancake bowls?
As shared by IHOP, flip’d will offer Build Your Own Signature Pancake Bowls. With mix-ins from the Top It Off! Bar, guests can make the ultimate creations. From fruit compotes to sprinkles and blueberries to chocolate chips, the combinations are almost endless.
While this idea is available at flip’d by IHOP, it seems likely that many people might borrow the concept. Although pancake boards and breakfast boards have been a big food trend, these pancake bowls could be the next big thing. Get ready for the flood of TikTok videos.
There is something about the “bowl” format that people find appealing. Whether it is fun to eat or that perfectly composed bite, there bowl is here to stay.
What do you think will be the next big food trend? Are you excited to try these pancake bowls?
Maybe sipee cups for their OJ too?
I was thinking the same thing. That's just an ordinary breakfast, but served in a bowl.
Then do you slice the cornmeal mush and brown/heat in a pan, serve with syrup?
That was how my mom would serve it, when we were kids. I don’t know if she ever made it herself; seems like she would buy a loaf-shaped chunk. ??
ummm Let me get this straight... the bowls aren’t made of pancake. It’s just that you serve the same old pancake in a bowl instead of a plate? Just wow, call the patent office! What’s next, coffee bowls?
Tasty stuff, but 95% carbohydrate calories no one burns off anymore.
Diabetes and Fatty Liver in a bowl, helping to keep 25% of the world in an inflamed liver condition.
Don't even ask.
So if I understand this correctly, IHOP is going to take a plate of pancakes, with your choice of toppings and turn it into a bowl of pancakes, with your choice of toppings?
Freaking ingenious.
Sliced and browned in bacon grease. Served with butter and a bit of maple syrup - not enough to run into my eggs.
Here's the base recipe I use. (nothing amazing)
Ingredients
3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup yellow cornmeal 1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional (one or more of the following)
1/2 yellow onion, finely mined or 1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
minced jalapenos or cowboy candy
whatever you might think tastes good
Instructions
Heat water to boiling in a sauce pan. Reduce to a simmer. Stir in salt, pepper and cornmeal. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until thick.
Optionally, stir in other ingredients at the same time as cornmeal.
Pour mixture into a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
I rarely make it the same way. I've even thrown in chopped up leftover vegetables. Pickled okra is good too. I like to play salt, vinegar and sweet off each other.
Sounds good. Thanks!
People are weird. What next?
(Is the bowl edible too?)
Just no! 😆
I don’t understand. It just looks like a stack of pancakes in a bowl rather than on a plate. IHoP has always had specialty pancakes.
