Animal Pancakes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: pancake mix, strawberry, blueberry, banana, chocolate chip, maple syrup

Provided by Jody Duits

Categories Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

6 cups pancake mix, prepared
strawberry, for decoration
blueberry, for decoration
banana, for decoration
chocolate chip, for decoration
maple syrup, to top, optional

Steps:

Prepare pancake mix per box instructions.
Heat a nonstick pan or pancake griddle on medium heat. For large pancakes, pour 1 cup (235 ml) of batter onto the pan. For small pancakes, pour a little less than ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter onto the pan. For medium pancakes, pour ⅓ cup (80 ml) of batter onto the pan.
Allow to cook until bubbles form and begin to pop all around the pancake. The pancake will also lose its shiny sheen and begin to look more matte. Flip and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned.
For the lion pancake, you'll need 1 large pancake, 1 small pancake, sliced strawberries for the mane and nose, blueberries for the eyes, and chocolate chips for the mouth.
For the monkey pancake, you'll need 1 large pancake, 2 small pancakes, 1 medium pancake, blueberries for the eyes and nose, and chocolate chips for the mouth.
For the owl pancake, you'll need 1 large pancake, sliced bananas for the eyes and feathers, blueberries for the eyes, and sliced strawberries for the beak and wings.
For the pig pancake, you'll need 1 large pancake, 1 small pancake, chocolate chips for the snout, blueberries for the eyes, and sliced strawberries for the ears.
Make your favorite animal pancakes and top with syrup, or another favorite pancake topping.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits and vegetables will give your pancakes a better flavor and texture.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will also make your pancakes more tender.
Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping them too often will make them dry and tough.
Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle.

Animal pancakes are a fun and easy way to add some variety to your breakfast or brunch routine. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be an animal pancake recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a new breakfast idea, give animal pancakes a try!
