All-you-can-eat pancakes are Coxno Exchangeback at IHOP.

The breakfast restaurant chain is officially bringing the promotion back just in time for back-to-school season to "help families when schedules are tight and wallets are pinched from shopping," according to a news release obtained by USA TODAY.

The promotion is available now through September 15, according to IHOP.

Customers can order select Breakfast Combos and the accompanying short stack of buttermilk pancakes comes as all-you-can-eat for no additional charge. The additional pancake stacks will be served two at a time.

Customers who only want the flapjacks can start with a full stack of buttermilk pancakes for $5, followed by a short stack, or two additional pancakes, with every additional order.

According to the company, the promotion is usually offered at the beginning of the year, but they "strategically situated" it around back-to-school this year.

IHOP syrups available at select retailers nationwide

In addition to the all-you-can-eat pancakes, IHOP also announced earlier this month that its Original and Butter Pecan syrup flavors are available at grocery stores nationwide.

The company teamed up with Kraft Heinz to "disrupt the breakfast aisle with a delicious syrup for breakfast items like pancakes, waffles and French toast," according to a news release.

"At Kraft Heinz, we’re committed to making the lives of our consumers delicious and we’re doing just that through our partnership with IHOP – bringing its indulgent syrups to grocery stores nationwide so that fans can elevate their homemade breakfasts,” said Danielle Coopersmith, Associate Director of Marketing at Kraft Heinz, in the news release.

“Pancakes and syrup are what we do best, and expanding our partnership with Kraft Heinz to develop IHOP syrups for retail was simply a no brainer,” said Candice Jacobson, Executive Director of Brand Communications at IHOP, in the announcement.
