How to Make Them

This is such a special Easter breakfast for little fingers because it’s easy to eat and fun to look at. Making pancakes at home is such a wonderful family tradition. Have fun with it!

To get started with the pancakes, add the dry flour, baking powder, and sugar to a large bowl and thoroughly combine.

Mix the milk, butter, egg, and vanilla extract with the dry mix until well combined.

Then, bring a nonstick skillet or frying pan to medium heat on the stovetop.

Spray a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray and add 1⁄4 cup of batter into the pan. As pancakes cook, wait until the top side starts to bubble, then flip.

Let the pancake continue cooking for about 1 minute or until golden on the bottom.

Once cooked, transfer to a plate.

To build the bunny, start by cutting a banana in half crosswise.

Then take one of the halves and cut it into thirds lengthwise.

Use the two outer pieces as the bunny ears, facing each ear up on a plate.

Layer the pancake over the bottoms of the ears ands cut one additional banana slice into a circle and place onto the pancake for the nose.

Cut the stem off of the strawberry and cut the strawberry in half lengthwise. Place the strawberry halves directly beneath the pancake to resemble a bowtie.

Add the blueberries to the bunny face and to the middle of the bowtie.

Fill a plastic baggie with hazelnut spread and cut a small hole at the tip. Pipe a small mouth onto the banana slice.You can also use a bit of the chocolate spread to adhere the blueberry eyes and banana nose.

Once your mini bunny pancakes are assembled, you are ready to eat! Serve as is or with a bit of maple syrup for dipping.
