Griddle Pancakes, a long-requested addition, has officially joined Belgian Boys' lineup of refrigerated breakfast products, sharing a convenient, versatile way to enjoy the European version of a traditional "American-style" pancake. These heat-and-eat pancakes can be prepared in the toaster, microwave or stovetop, and like the rest of the brand's products, are free from GMOs, artificial flavors and preservatives.

"I like to say that our griddle pancakes are toppable and unstoppable," said Belgian Boys CEO Anouck Gotlib, "They are delicious drizzled with syrup, and topped with berries, or as a sweet and savory breakfast sandwich. I am beyond thrilled to bring our new assortment of pancakes to homes across the country—I know they are going to be a big hit with kids and adults alike."
