With three daughters, I’m completely lost when it comes to boys and their toys, but I do know there probably isn’t a boy out there who wouldn’t love a four-wheeler.  My nephews have a bubblegum pink (yes, pink) four-wheeler — and they love it! When I was out to visit them last year, they took me for a ride. It was scary putting my life into the hands of a seven and nine year old, but I have to admit, I had a blast! This breakfast is for everyone out there with a sense of adventure (regardless the age).

Revved-Up Kids Breakfast: Four-Wheeler Pancake

Ride on over to Recipe.Com for full instructions.

One thing I absolutely adore about spring/summer is all the fresh fruit that’s readily available!  Not sure about your kids, but my girls are big time fruit eaters.  And coincidentally, they love pancakes as well.  For any meal.  Do you sometimes have breakfast for dinner?  It’s a family fave  in my home.  With pancakes and fresh fruit involved, whooo‘s not going to love this big eyed owl?

Christmas up your Saturday morning pancakes with this fun reindeer!

Rudolph

~ Pancakes ~ Marshmallow ~ Mini M&Ms~

Make pancakes, then use one as face (I chose one that was a little, ahem, overdone. It looked brown like a reindeer!) Cut antlers out of another pancake. You can either freehand-cut them, or use a cookie cutter. I used an oak leaf-shaped cookie cutter. You could use a flower cutter, and cut it in half, etc. Just use your imagination.

Cut a mini marshmallow in half for whites of eyes, and lay on pancake sticky side up. You can affix the marshmallows to the pancake with a dab of syrup if you want. Put brown mini M&Ms on marshmallows for pupils. Dab syrup on bottom of pancake and place red M&M for nose. Easy!

You could also substitute raisins and a craisin for the pupils and nose.

Christmas up your Saturday morning pancakes with this Jolly Old Saint Nick Pancake!

Santa Pancake

~ Pancakes ~ Marshmallows ~ Mini M&Ms ~
~ Craisin ~ Cream Cheese ~ Jam ~

Make pancakes, then use one as face. Cut hat out of another pancake.

Cut a mini marshmallow in half for whites of eyes, and lay on pancake sticky side up. Affix the marshmallows to the pancake with a dab of syrup. Put brown mini M&Ms on marshmallows for pupils. Dab syrup and place red M&M for nose.

Cut mini marshmallow almost in half and spread out for mustache. Place craisin on pancake for lip, and put mustache over craisin.

Spread cream cheese around face for beard base. Place marshmallows on top of cream cheese (I tried this without the cream cheese, but it seemed like WAY too many marshmallows! Sugar overload!)

Spread jam on hat and place a row of marshmallows for brim of hat and pom-pom of hat.

Pancakes can be a comfort food, especially if you add in some spice!!

Comfort Pancakes

Use any kind of pancake batter that you like.  Sprinkle some Cinnamon and Nutmeg (comfort food spices) into the batter for added taste.  Pour batter into hot skillet and make as directed.  Once out of the pan, let them cool a bit. Take any shape cookie cutter and make fun shapes out of the pancake.  Nothing goes to waste here…let the kids eat the “leftover” pancake, once the shape is out, while you get the rest ready.  Butter (you can also use peanut butter) the shapes and arrange them on a plate.  Drizzle your favorite syrup over the top. Easy as Pie, or should we say pancakes!!
