Pancakes-Inspired Breakfast Cereals

IHOP's Panflakes Cereal Combines Two Classic Breakfast Dishes

— May 4, 2020 — Marketing
IHOP is continuing to push the boundaries of breakfast with its new mysterious new Panflakes cereal.

On April 30th, IHOP's official Twitter account teased the debut of a new Panflakes breakfast cereal with the caption "here's a little taste of something we're working on." Though details are sparse, the limited-edition product appears to be a crunchy breakfast cereal where each piece is made up of an itty-bitty pancake. The packaging also alludes to maple syrup flavors, suggesting that the new cereal is "Pancakey, Syrupy, and Crunchy."

Though it's unclear when the Panflakes cereal will officially be available, IHOP has confirmed that the product is indeed real and that more tasty details are on the way.
