# Sandwich-Inspired Pancakes These Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes Offer Two Dishes in One By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2015-07-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-pancakes References: [foodrepublic](http://www.foodrepublic.com/recipes/peanut-butter-and-jelly-pancakes/) These Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes are a breakfast and lunch hybrid meal. Using a few conventional ingredients, this dish gives breakfast sandwiches an entirely new meaning. While enjoying a [peanut butter and jelly sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-packed-lunch-specials) is most commonly done during lunch, these pancakes offer that satisfaction during breakfast. Developed by foodie Jess Kapadia, these pancakes are made with a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour. Using this gluten mix gives the pancakes more texture and substance. Kapadia also mixes in the usual [jarred peanut butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-and-raspberry-spread) for an earthy flavor that is not too dense or sticky. When it comes to jelly, the Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes are topped with the consumer's choice of [fruity jam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-berry-pretzel-nuggets). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Breakfast-lunch Hybrid Meals:** Creating more dishes that cater to both breakfast and lunch can appeal to customers looking for convenient, time-saving meals. - **Gluten Mix in Pancakes:** Using a gluten mix in pancakes not only adds more texture and substance, but can also cater to customers with gluten sensitivities. - **Creative Flavor Combinations:** Incorporating unconventional flavors like peanut butter and jelly can appeal to customers looking for unique and flavorful dishes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Food and Beverage industry can take advantage of creating more breakfast-lunch hybrid meals and incorporating creative flavor combinations. - **Hospitality:** Hospitality industry can provide more diverse breakfast options to appeal to customers looking for convenient and unique meals. - **Health and Wellness:** Health and Wellness industry can cater to customers with gluten sensitivities by offering gluten-free pancake options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Childhood Sandwich-Inspired Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-burger.md) - [Ready-to-Eat Crustless Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchables-pbj.md) - [PB&J-Inspired Sandwich Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pbj-inspired-sandwich-plates.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Crepe Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-and-grape-filled-crpes-togo.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Peanut Butter Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-pbj-big-cups.md) - [PB&J-Inspired Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-bread-pbj.md) - [Sweet Sandwich Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-pbj-sandwich-kit.md) - [Gourmet Pancake Stack Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fancy-pancake-menu.md) - [Sandwich-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-and-jelly-flavor.md)
