I think the answer is no.
Because the worst thing for breakfast isnot enoughpancakes, I always tend to make more than I need.
And that, of course, means leftovers.

The Method To Avoid: The Microwave
Okay.
Lets get this one out of the way first and foremost.

But heres the thing: The microwave will make your pancakes very soggy.
It has no structure because the microwave steams the pancake from the inside out which demolishes the cake-like texture.
So, technically, yes you’re free to, but lets not.

This works best if you are reheating one or two pancakes, which I frequently do in my house.
If your toaster has different parameters, put the toaster on a gentle settinglike toast or bagel.
The pancake will need probably 90 seconds to two minutes in the toaster.

Each model will be a bit different so you might have to experiment with a trial pancake.
Its almost identical, if not better, than straight off the griddle.
The toppings can burn onto the coils in your toaster and make a smokey mess.
Cover the pancakes with foil and pop them in the oven for about four minutes.
This method works really well, but you wont get quite the same crust as the toaster method.
If you store hot pancakes, they will create condensation which will make your pancakes soggy.
Pancakes keep fine in the fridge for a week.
If you have a large amount of leftover pancakes, you’re able to freeze them.
Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then store them in a freezer-safe bag.
They will keep for three months that way.
you’re able to thaw them before reheating.
