Personally I never need a reason to make pancakes for dinner. Breakfast for dinner is almost a bi-weekly celebration of a near-empty fridge, and there are pretty much always pancake ingredients on hand. But if you need an excuse to eat pancakes for dinner, choosing pancakes with either a short ingredient list or a savory component easily justifies the occasion.

Savory Tex-Mex Dutch Baby Pancake
Dutch baby pancakes are incredible on their own, but adding some savory flavors to the batter and topping with black beans and a quick salsa makes for an out-of-this-world pancake. This is a decidedly savory, perfect-for-dinner affair.
