This Pancake Breakfast is the perfect balance of sweet and savory with honey butter and crispy bacon in every bite. Similar to my Loaded Breakfast Pancakes, these pancakes are a twist on Classic Pancakes.

Sabrina’s Honey Cornmeal Pancakes with Bacon Recipe

After days of cereal for breakfast, these Honey Cornmeal Pancakes with Bacon are enticing enough to wake up before the kids just to make them. Pancakes have become a weekend tradition in my house, and I love coming up with different flavor combinations based on what I have on hand, so with last night’s dinner still fresh in my mind, Crispy Colby Cornmeal Cakes, these pancakes seemed like an easy choice. Turn an ordinary stack of pancakes into the perfect beginning to a relaxing, lazy weekend.

Sabrina’s Tip

When I make pancakes I am always sure to not over mix the batter. A few lumps will give you lighter, fluffier pancakes every time!

About this Recipe

The cornmeal gives these pancakes a heartier texture with lightly crisp edges, while the honey butter drizzle adds sweetness that perfectly balances the salty, crispy bacon. It’s an easy breakfast that feels just a little more special than the usual Saturday morning stack.
