What is National Flapjack Day?

With piping hot flavor and goodness, National Flapjack Day is celebrated on March 7th. The day honors the robust, wholesome cakes we've been baking for generations. Recipes passed down from grandmother to son and mother to daughter are continuing to bring smiles to families around the country.

Flapjacks were a staple of pioneers who were embarking on the frontier for their new lives. Flajacks provided the fuel they needed to get through the often strenuous trails, brimming with nutrients and energy..

The stacked high flapjacks remind us of mornings in grandma's kitchen when the coffee was fresh. We topped them with fresh blueberries and real maple syrup. Maybe today you add pecans or walnuts, thick-sliced bananas, and your favorite nut butter. Fresh whipped cream makes flapjacks look extra special, too.

The delectation and aroma of hot off-the-griddle flapjacks never go wrong no matter where you go. They'll keep you up for a day of hiking, playing, discovering, and celebrating.
