I too would look for a mix. I like to cook extra things into my pancakes, for example mixed berries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or marion berries. I sometimes mush up bananas and either chop pecans or walnuts. Then again I really love to put in chocolate chips.
I use real maple syrup (It's worth the expense) and peanut butter (my wife likes regular butter) on top.
I do like them plain too.
Good luck!
