With our little one now attending school, our daily life has changed quite a bit. We no longer have those lazy mornings where we could sneak in an extra hour of sleep or skip breakfast - though I know skipping meals isn't ideal, sometimes that extra sleep felt priceless!
Now, we've all adjusted to an earlier routine to get Pasta ready for school. She's even started feeding herself, which is a milestone but also takes up extra time. When it comes to preparing food, Pasta enjoys helping me, especially when I'm making something for her (and us!). She loves mixing cake or pancake batter, turning it into a fun game. Her favorite is a stack of fluffy pancakes with pieces of fruit and a generous dollop of dulce de leche.
Ingredients
- Flour - For the flour, I like to use a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat, but you can easily use either one on its own. Gluten-free flour also works great if you prefer!
- Sweetener - To sweeten the pancakes, I recommend honey, but cane sugar is a fine substitute.
- Egg - This recipe includes an egg, which helps make the pancakes nice and fluffy. If you'd like to make them without eggs, just replace each egg with a quarter cup of plain yogurt.
- Baking Powder - Baking powder is a must for achieving that perfect fluffy texture!
- Milk - Milk adds moisture, and any kind you have will do. Whole milk, 2% milk, almond milk, or oat milk - they all work well. I personally use whole milk.
- Butter - A bit of butter adds richness and a lovely buttery flavor. Regular table butter is my go-to, but for a dairy-free option, try a neutral oil or melted vegan butter.
- Salt - Don't forget a pinch of salt! Sea salt is great if you have it.
- Vanilla - Finally, a touch of vanilla extract will give your pancakes the perfect flavor.
Tips
Making pancakes might seem tricky, but they're actually one of the easiest things to whip up! I often make them for Pasta's tiffin box. Since she only has a short break at school instead of a full lunch, pancakes, along with some fruit, are the perfect choice. To make them even better, I add an egg or two and use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour (or sometimes a mix of both). This turns her tiffin box into a great mix of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Here's the recipe for a simple pancake, a favorite of my little one, which I serve with fresh fruits and a drizzle of Dulce de leche (you can find the recipe for Dulce de leche here).
Recipe Card
Pancakes topped with Dulce de Leche and Fresh Fruits
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
- ⅓ Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1¼ Cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 3 tablespoon Honey Sugar can be used
- ¼ teaspoon Vanilla
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 3 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tbsp. Dulce de Leche optional for topping
- ½ cup Mix Fruit chunks optional to serve with the pancakes
Instructions
- To make delicious pancakes, start by combining flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Mix these dry ingredients well with a spoon. For a lighter texture, sift the flour mixture once or twice.
- Next, melt a tablespoon of butter and combine it with room-temperature milk.
- In a separate bowl, add this milk and butter mixture to the flour mixture, along with honey and an egg.
- Gently stir everything together with a spatula until you have a smooth batter without any lumps.
- Stir in a splash of vanilla for extra flavor.
- Now, melt the remaining butter in a non-stick pan over low heat.
- Pour about three tablespoons of batter onto the melted butter. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a nice round shape. Cook for about a minute, until the bottom is golden and bubbles start to appear on the top.
- Cover the pan with a lid and continue cooking for another minute.
- Remove the lid and flip the pancake to cook the other side until it's also golden brown.
- Remove the pancake from the pan and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve your warm pancakes topped with a drizzle of Dulce de Leche and some fresh fruit pieces.
Notes
Notes
- You can use either whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour for this recipe.
- You can use sugar to sweeten the pancakes.
- Instead of dulce de leche, any sweet syrup or jam works well too.
Serving Suggestion
I like to serve the pancakes with whatever fruits I have on hand, but that's completely up to you.Nutrition
