Turn breakfast into a craft project! These penguin pancakes are built from stacked pancakes, chocolate coating, and cheese accessories. This creative breakfast is perfect for a weekend morning project.
Ingredients
- Pancakes (homemade or from a mix)
- Melted chocolate or chocolate yogurt
- American or cheddar cheese (for beak and feet)
- Raisin or chocolate chip (for the eye)
- Vanilla yogurt or whipped cream (for the white belly)
- Shredded coconut (for “snow,” optional)
- Hard-boiled egg (optional)
Steps
- Make pancakes. Cook pancakes in different sizes: two large (for body and wings) and one small one (for the head).
- Arrange the body. Place a large pancake in the center of your plate. For the head, add the small pancake above it. Cut two wing shapes and an oval-shaped belly from the remaining large pancake. Arrange on the plate, as shown.
- Add the tuxedo. Spread melted chocolate over the body, wings, and head, leaving an oval of white (vanilla yogurt or whipped cream) on the belly.
- Add the face. Press a raisin or chocolate chip on for an eye. Cut a small triangle from cheese for the beak.
- Add feet. Cut two larger triangles from cheese and place them at the bottom. Arrange the egg between the penguin’s feet.
- Add snow. Sprinkle shredded coconut around the base for a snowy scene.
- Eat your penguin. Time to waddle over and dig in for breakfast!
