I suppose that this is what heaven looks like: Fluffy pancakes filled with an inordinate amount of chocolate, jelly and everything else that’s good in the world.
That, or National Donut Day just happens fall on IHOP’s 55th anniversary (June 7th), which no doubt led the restaurant chain to the logical conclusion of breakfast + donut pancakes. Hey, we ain’t complaining.
“We’ve decided to kick off the summer season . . . by doing what we do best: bringing our guests three brand new signature pancakes in flavors that are fun, unexpected and most of all, absolutely delicious!” raves Natalia Franco, the company’s Senior VP of Marketing.
The new items include Jelly Donut, Tiramisu and Banana Graham Nut Pancakes available now until July 21st and starting at $4.99. Peep the glorious stacks of food porn below:
Jelly Donut Pancakes - filled with with layers of sweet and tart raspberry jelly, then topped with glaze, more jelly and powdered sugar. I only have one critique: needs peanut butter.
Tiramisu Pancakes - bttermilk stacks with layers of mocha cream topped with a generous drizzle of chocolate, whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder. Ugh, my favorite of the bunch that I am currently pining after.
Banana Graham Nut Pancakes - sliced bananas grilled inside buttermilk pancakes layered with marshmallow cream, bits of crushed graham cracker and honey-roasted pecans. Oh, and topped with cinnamon cream cheese. No big.
