Days which coincide with a food you're deeply fond of are the best, partially because it means eating said food to (delicious) excess is completely acceptable, at any time of the day.
Like Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, the day that precedes Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent).
And the best part is there are so many pancakes to choose from -- classic, chocolate, banana bread, pistachio, choc chip, blueberry lemon... and then there's toppings.
Here are eight Pancake Day recipes to enjoy, whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or all three, it's up to you.
1. Banana bread pancakes

If you love the comforting fragrance of sweet banana bread baking in the oven (and you've got a few spotty bananas lying around), try these banana bread pancakes. All you need are super ripe bananas, pancake mix, nuts, buttermilk and spices.

3. Chocolate chip oatmeal cookie pancakes
From Minimalist Baker.
If there's one thing better than a good choc chip cookie, it's a chocolate chip cookie pancake. Well, 10 of them. These pancakes are fluffy, super moist and satisfying, and you only need one bowl and 30 minutes to make them.
For a fresher, lighter pancake option, try these zesty lemon yoghurt pancakes studded with blueberries. These pancakes are __gluten free, too, so everyone can enjoy a big stack.
