Easter Morning “Bunny” Pancakes!

Easter holidays begin for our students today.  On Easter morning it’s always nice to stay festive and serve up something a little special to your children.  Try this fun “Bunny” pancake for them, they will love it!

Ingredients:

• Pancake mix (or you can make you own homemade pancakes)
• Bananas for the ears
• Apples for the teeth
• Strawberry for the nose
• Yogurt and blueberries for the eyes
• Cheese for the whiskers

Directions:

Once your pancakes are made, use one full round pancake for the bunny’s face and use two small mini pancakes for the mouth/whiskers.  Slice a banana in half (long ways) and make the bunny ears.  Add two small pieces of apple for the teeth.  Use one slice of strawberry (round) for the nose.  Cut a piece of hard cheese in 6 thin strips for the whiskers.  Place a dollop of thick yogurt for the eyes and add a blueberry to each.  With your leftover fruit you can serve a small fruit salad on the side of your bunny pancake. Enjoy and “Hoppy Easter”!
