Description

These Magical Reindeer Pancakes are a fun and festive breakfast treat perfect for holiday mornings. Soft, fluffy pancakes serve as the base, decorated with crispy bacon antlers, sweet banana eyes, and bright raspberry noses to create adorable reindeer faces that kids and adults will love. Easy to prepare with simple ingredients, this recipe adds a whimsical touch to your breakfast table.

Ingredients

Scale

Pancakes

  • 2 cups pancake batter

Reindeer Decorations

  • 2 bananas, sliced into thick coins
  • 8 raspberries
  • 8 strips cooked bacon

To Serve (Optional)

  • Butter
  • Syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pancake Batter: Mix your pancake batter according to your recipe or package instructions. Let it rest for a few minutes to allow bubbles to form, ensuring fluffy pancakes.
  2. Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat to get an even cooking temperature for your pancakes.
  3. Cook Pancakes: Pour batter onto the skillet to form 4–5 inch round pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.
  4. Keep Warm: Set the cooked pancakes aside on a plate and keep them warm while you prepare the decorations.
  5. Cook Bacon: Cook the bacon strips in a skillet until crisp. Drain them on paper towels and shape into “V” forms or gentle twists to resemble reindeer antlers.
  6. Slice Bananas: Peel and slice the bananas into thick rounds to create the reindeer’s eyes.
  7. Assemble Pancakes: Place two pancakes side by side on a serving plate for each reindeer face.
  8. Add Bacon Antlers: Insert two bacon strips at the top edge of each pancake, positioned to look like antlers.
  9. Add Eyes: Place two banana slices on each pancake to create eyes. You can optionally place a blueberry or chocolate chip in the center of each banana slice to resemble pupils.
  10. Add Nose: Place a raspberry below the eyes on each pancake to serve as the reindeer’s bright red nose.
  11. Serve: Serve the reindeer pancakes warm with butter and syrup if desired for added sweetness.

Notes

  • You can substitute bacon with turkey bacon for a leaner option.
  • To make this recipe more kid-friendly, use fruit chips or mini chocolate chips as pupils in the eyes.
  • Keep pancakes warm by covering them loosely with foil while assembling.
  • Use fresh raspberries for vibrant color and flavor for the nose.
  • Feel free to customize the decoration with additional berries or nuts if desired.
