A fun, kid-friendly breakfast idea featuring fluffy mini pancakes layered with fresh fruit on skewers, served with maple syrup for dipping.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 skewers 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 cup mixed fruit (blueberries, strawberries, banana slices)
  • Maple syrup or yogurt, for serving

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Whisk milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter in another bowl.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour small rounds to form mini pancakes; cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden.
  5. Let pancakes cool briefly, cut into bite-sized pieces if needed, and thread onto skewers with fruit between pieces.
  6. Serve with maple syrup or yogurt for dipping.

Notes

  • Make the batter thicker for easier skewering; add a tablespoon more flour if needed.
  • Use dairy-free milk and oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Kids can help assemble the skewers for a fun breakfast activity.
