When is a pancake not just a pancake? When it’s dished up as part of the Calgary Stampede’s epic annual roster of Pancake Breakfasts is when.

So how can a pancake breakfast stand out from the crowd? It’s possible, when you serve it up with a twist. If you are one or more of the following, take note: Vegan, a dog owner, creative, health-conscious, a Caesar lover, tired of pancakes.

Here are eight unique pancake breakfasts to check out during the 2017 Calgary Stampede.

1. Raw Canvas

You’re the driver for this pancake breakfast, because you’re bringing your most creative pancake design. They’ll make the pancake, aka your canvas, and then you put toppings on it. The best pancake created wins a free class to Raw Canvas’ black light event, or cooking class.
