Frequently asked questions about pancakes
How many calories are in pancakes?
Pancakes (1 pancake, 38 g) has 86 calories. 100 g has 227 calories. On a Nutrition Facts label, calories are rounded to the nearest 5 or 10, so the panel above may show 90.
What is a serving of pancakes?
This page defaults to 1 pancake (4" dia) (38 g), a USDA household measure. The serving size on a packaged food label is set by the FDA reference amount (RACC) for its category, so a product label can use a different amount. The selector above shows every USDA measure for pancakes.
Can I use pancakes in a Nutrition Facts label calculation?
Yes. Open the generator with pancakes added, enter the weight you use, add your other ingredients and the label is calculated from the same USDA record shown here. A label for a product you sell must reflect your actual recipe and finished serving.
Pancakes compared with other forms

Source and method
Nutrient values are from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (April 2018 release, public domain), record 175009: "Pancakes, plain, prepared from recipe". Values are stored per 100 g exactly as USDA reports them and scaled to each serving by weight. The Nutrition Facts panel applies the FDA rounding rules in 21 CFR 101.9; tables and text show the scaled amounts at reading precision, so a figure can differ slightly from the panel. A nutrient USDA does not report for this food is shown as not reported, never as a guessed value.
SR Legacy predates the added sugars field, and this processed food may contain some, so added sugars are shown as not reported. The label panel prints 0 g because a row cannot be blank; a real product label needs the figure from its recipe. View the USDA record ↗
