Festive and fun Reindeer Pancakes made with simple pancake batter and decorated with fruit, chocolate chips, and pretzels to create adorable reindeer faces. Perfect for holiday breakfasts!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake batter (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil (for greasing pan)
  • 1 banana, sliced (for eyes)
  • 8 chocolate chips or blueberries (for eye centers)
  • 4 strawberries or raspberries (for noses)
  • 8 mini pancakes or pancake semicircles (for ears)
  • 8 small pretzels, halved (for antlers)
  • Optional: whipped cream, syrup, or powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and grease with butter or oil.
  2. Pour pancake batter to form one large circle (5–6 inches) for the face. Cook until bubbles form, flip, and cook until golden. Repeat as needed.
  3. Make or cut small pancakes into semicircles for the ears.
  4. Assemble on a plate: place large pancake in center, add banana slices with chocolate chips for eyes, a berry for the nose, small pancakes for ears, and pretzel halves for antlers.
  5. Serve warm with desired toppings like whipped cream or syrup.

Notes

  • Use peanut butter or Nutella to help attach decorations.
  • Replace berries with chocolate candies for noses.
  • Use maraschino cherries for a brighter red nose.
  • Opt for whole wheat batter for a healthier version.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while assembling.
