How To Make Healthy Pancake Cereal
STEP 1
In a mixing bowl combine all the dry ingredients first. Mix them well and then add milk, olive oil, and the egg.
STEP 2
Use a hand mixer to combine and blend all the ingredients to a nice thick batter.
STEP 3
Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or a piping bag instead. If you do choose to use the piping bag, cut the smallest opening possible. That way you'll be able to have more control when squeezing the batter on to a pan.
STEP 4
Take a nonstick pan, turn the heat on medium-low and brush with olive or coconut oil. The heat is important, as it all depends on how fast you’re able to pipe these pancakes. They will cook super fast 1-2 minutes because of their small size, so make sure not to use high heat.
When you’ll see the bubbles forming and the top is setting it’s time to flip your pancakes. Cook for another 10-15 seconds and remove from pan.
My pancakes came out around 3cm in diameter but you can totally make even smaller ones if you’d like.
STEP 5
Serve!
Storing instructions.
Best served warm! But you can freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Whenever you're ready to serve, take them out of the freezer, reheat on a pan or microwave and they will look beautiful and fresh.
Serving
For serving add a tablespoon of butter and drizzle with maple syrup, raspberry jam, or honey.
For toppings: Choose your favorites, for this pancake cereal recipe I used fresh blueberries, pomegranate seeds, and white chocolate nibbles.
I hope you enjoy this mini pancake recipe!
