Reindeer Pancakes Ingredients
Pancakes
Make pancakes from scratch or using a mix. You can even use store-bought frozen pancakes if you’re short on time.
Fruit
Here is the fruit you’ll need to make Reindeer faces:
- Strawberries
- Bananas
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
Variations
Antlers
Some reindeer pancakes use bacon for the antlers. This recipe uses strawberry slices since it cuts down on time and is easier than making bacon.
If you have more time, bacon antlers would be cute too.
Nose
If you don’t want to use raspberries, here are some other great options for the nose.
- Strawberry
- Cherry
- Red Candy, such as gumdrops
Eyes
Instead of banana slices, use whipped cream to make the eyes.
