Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole-wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup
  • 2 cups almond milk or any preferred non-dairy milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more for the griddle
  • Nonfat Greek yogurt for serving (or whipped cream)
  • Fresh berries for decoration (optional)
  • Sliced almonds for decoration (optional)

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Frying pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together thoroughly until the mixture is light and airy. This step is crucial as it incorporates air into the dry ingredients, ensuring your pancakes will be fluffy.
  2. Create a well in the center of the dry mixture. Pour in the honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, eggs, and the melted butter. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this will lead to dense pancakes. You want a slightly lumpy batter, which is perfect for pancakes.
  3. Preheat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Brush it with a little extra butter to ensure the pancakes don’t stick. The right temperature is important; too hot will burn the pancakes, while too cool will make them soggy.
  4. For each bunny, pour the batter to form two large oval pancakes for the ears, one large round pancake for the head, and two smaller round pancakes for the feet. Use a spoon to help shape the pancakes into their respective bunny parts. It’s okay to have a bit of fun with this, making them as cute as possible!
  5. Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. This is a good indicator that the pancakes are ready to flip. Gently flip them over with a spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown. You should see a nice golden color.
  6. Once cooked, assemble your bunny on a plate. Place the two oval pancakes at the top for ears, the large round pancake below for the head, and the smaller round pancakes at the bottom for the feet. Get creative; you can even adjust the shapes to make them more whimsical!
  7. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt to the body pancake representing the bunny's tail and use sliced almonds for details. Feel free to add some fresh berries for some vibrant colors and added sweetness on the plate!
  8. Serve immediately, ensuring everyone gets their share of these charming Bunny Pancakes. They are best enjoyed fresh off the griddle, while they’re still warm and fluffy.

Notes

When storing leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze them by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and then transferring to a freezer bag for up to two months. Serve these pancakes with a side of fresh fruit for balance, and feel free to add dark chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter for a fun twist. If you do not have a nonstick griddle, ensure you use enough butter to prevent sticking, and you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
