Teddy Bear Pancakes

These cute and tasty teddy bear pancakes are a great way to celebrate National American Teddy Bear Day. They are a fun and festive treat for breakfast that will make your day even better.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Chocolate chips for teddy bear eyes and nose
• Sliced bananas for teddy bear ears and snout
• Maple syrup for serving
• Whipped cream optional
• Fresh berries optional, for garnish

Instructions:

Mix the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a whisk

Beat the egg in a different bowl, then add the buttermilk and melted butter

Combine well

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together just until they are mixed

Watch out not to mix too much; it's okay to have some lumps

Put a nonstick griddle or pan on medium heat and use cooking spray or butter to lightly coat it

Put a small circle of batter on the griddle for the bear's head on each teddy bear pancake

Make two small dots in the batter to look like eyes and one slightly bigger dot to look like a nose

For the eyes, use chocolate chips

Put two slices of banana on top of the head to make the ears and a bigger slice on the bottom to make the nose

Once the pancake starts to bubble on top, flip it over and cook the other side until it's golden brown

Do this again and again until you have all the teddy bear pancakes you want

You can serve teddy bear pancakes with maple syrup and add whipped cream and fresh berries on top if you want to

Have fun with your sweet teddy bear pancakes today, which is National American Teddy Bear Day!
