Forget Dalgona Coffee, Pancake Cereal is hottest food trend on TikTok

Move over Dalgona Coffee, there’s a new food trend in town. Pancake cereal has become the newest quarantine craze to take over social media. With cafes closed indefinitely during the lockdown, creative home cooks are now making pancake cereal for breakfast. This latest food craze has taken over Instagram and TikTok with many  amateur cooks sharing their own creations on them.

Bowls of miniature pancakes slathered in syrup have been popping up all over social media. The #pancakecereal hashtag has received more than 10.6 million views on TikTok alone. It’s difficult to determine where the original idea originated, but the trend is growing with each passing day.

Many are using piping bags and squeeze bottles for their tiny pancakes, others have created makeshift tools from whatever they can find around the house.

TikTok star Melanie Locke’s pancake cereal video has been liked more than 133,000 times. She has put her batter into a water bottle and made a hole in the cap to create her miniature pancakes.
