Yummy and Fun Pancakes

My family loves pancakes!
We eat them a few different ways.
Sometimes they are just plain with butter and syrup.
Sometimes we use a fruit syrup or add fruit toppings.
Sometimes we go all out and make a dessert out of our pancakes.
Sometimes we just have fun!

I really like this recipe as a base recipe. I like to add a tsp or so of vanilla to it, and sometimes I will replace some of the flour with oats that I pulverized with my Cuisinart. I have also used Smart Balance instead of butter with great results.

Here's one of our favorites:

Pancakes with butter, syrup, bananas, walnuts and whipped cream.

Here's what my younger kids asked for:

"Mickey Mouse" Pancakes with raisin face.

Mickey Mouse pancakes are easy and fun to make.

Serve and watch the smiles!

See... I told you it was easy!
You can get creative and use chocolate chips, other fruit, a mixture of cinnamon/brown sugar/melted butter, or a variety of other things for the faces.

You can even leave the faces out of the cooking process and let the kids make one of their own, after.

Have fun!
