Working surface of creating pancake master pieces on top of white kitchen counter surface

As a kid, one of my favorite breakfast selections was pancakes. During summertime stays with my grandparents, pancake breakfasts were a tradition — although, our pancakes were anything but traditional. We took ours to the next level by pouring the batter into fun shapes on the griddle and using ingredients like whipped cream and fresh fruit to create works of flapjack art!

These breakfasts were simple and easy, but they were also special. With a box of just-add-water pancake mix, some fresh fruit and a few other pantry items, we created more than just pancake masterpieces but also special memories to last a lifetime.

If you’re looking for ways to bring excitement to your breakfast while creating memorable mornings with your loved ones, get out your mixing bowl and let your imagination run wild! We’ll help you get started with a few of our favorite ideas below.

Pro Tips

  • For smaller, more intricate shapes like ears and beaks, transfer your pancake batter to an empty, cleaned condiment bottle and gently squeeze the batter onto your griddle in the desired shape.
  • If your pancake shapes are not as defined as you would like, try thinning the consistency of the batter by adding a little bit of water.
  • Use your imagination! Incorporate fruits and snacks you have in your kitchen to create your pancake masterpieces.
