Peter Cottontail Pancakes

Jillian Harris, Tori Wesszer
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 cup flour (or ½ sub whole wheat flour)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 peeled banana sliced ½“ thick
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or mini chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt (vanilla or coconut)
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut optional

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave and cool.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a fork and add the buttermilk, vanilla and cooled melted butter.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed: do not over mix! It will still look lumpy. Fill a squeeze bottle with a large spout or a piping bag with batter.
  • Heat a griddle or pan with a small amount of vegetable oil on medium heat, pour into separate pancake shapes of ears, and three sizes of round pancakes (do this in a circular motion with the squeeze bottle), large medium and small. This will be done in batches. Flip when the bubbles appear on the tops and the bottoms are golden brown. You will need twice as many ears and smallest circles as the large and medium circles.
  • Arrange the pancakes on each plate so that the largest circle is the body, the medium circle is the head, the two smallest circles for the feet and the ears above the head. Place a slice of banana on each paw or foot and arrange the blueberries or chocolate chips for the toes. Place a dollop of yogurt for a tail and sprinkle with the coconut.
