Pancake Art

We LOOOOOOVE pancakes at our house. They can be so simple to make too. Sometimes it is nice to dress them up a little bit differently. Here are some of the pancakes that we have been making lately.

Here is our sun/flower pancake. Boys don't mind eating a sun... but they aren't so keen on eating a flower. Fruit and pancake... perfect breakfast.

How about a teddy bear for breakfast.... one very large pancake for the head, one medium to small pancake for the nose/snout, and two small pancakes for the ears. Use two chocolate chips for those dark brown bear eyes and then chocolate syrup to draw on the mouth.

Best part here... It's the syrup and it looks like he is covered in honey! CUTE!

Here's a monkey pancake... Once again almost like the bear: one very large pancake for the head, one medium to small pancake for the nose/snout, and two small pancakes for the ears... It is just about how you put them together on the plate. Also for the monkey we mixed in about 1 Tablespoon of cocoa powder into the pancake batter to make the other parts darker. Add two regular chocolate chips for eyes, and then we used mini chocolate chips to make a mouth. Serve with a banana and breakfast is ready!

Another fun and easy pancake... Mickey Mouse! On the griddle or pan where you are making your pancakes.... start with a medium to large circle pancake and then add two more small scoops right on top to create the ears. You want them to attach so it becomes one pancake. (Also we like to make Minnie Mouse pancakes too, you know for the girls....Make sure you put the ears far enough apart and then using a spoon put two triangles in the middle of the ears, attached to the head to look like a bow.)

One is a regular pancake and the other is a chocolate chip pancakes. Make your pancake batter and then while the first side is baking sprinkle mini chocolate chips onto the pancake. Flip and allow them to finish cooking. Serve with syrup.

There's lots of other pancakes that we've made, but don't have pictures of them all. It's fun to play with your food!
