Maple Bacon Pancakes Recipe

We've all had those moments when everything clicks perfectly into place and your mind becomes clear: put the bacon in the pancakes. And adding the maple syrup to the batter is the logical next step. All you need is a big pot of coffee—and even more bacon and maple syrup—and brunch is on the table in less than half an hour.
These pancakes came together quickly and easily. If you like to sleep late, but still enjoy to having company over for brunch, here are a few tricks to save time on this recipe. Mix the dry ingredients ahead of time and keep them in a zip-top bag, then mix and refrigerate all the wet ingredients (except the melted butter). Then just melt some butter and throw everything together in the morning. Fry up some bacon and put on the coffee—your sweet and salty brunch is ready to eat in no time.
