Delightfully Delicious Pancake Recipes

We love pancakes all year round, so thought we’d create a blog to share our favourite pancake recipes. They’re quick to whip up, delightfully delicious and it’s super easy to vary your toppings!

Making pancakes can also be a fun activity for the whole family, so try to encourage your little ones to help out in the following ways:

  • Measuring out the pancake ingredients and adding them to a bowl
  • Stirring, mixing and whisking the mixture together
  • Once you’ve cooked the pancakes, allow the pans and pancakes to cool. Show children how to flip the pancakes in the pan and let them have a go! Tip- you may need a few spare ones as a few of them may escape the pan and end up on the floor (all part of the fun!)
  • Help them to chop up their chosen toppings e.g. berries, banana, cheese, peppers, etc
  • Encourage children to make shapes and faces on their pancake. The more creative the better!

Carrot and Sultana Spiced Pancakes

These are so easy to make and are packed full of nutrients. It might seem a little strange adding carrot to your pancake mix, but trust us, it’s delicious! This is a great recipe for the whole family. Just be sure to cut into finger food pieces to make it more manageable for little ones. We suggest serving with some yoghurt for extra deliciousness!
