Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz (about 3/4 cup) pancake batter homemade or store-bought mix
  • 2 slices cooked bacon for antlers
  • 2 banana slices sliced into rounds
  • 2 blueberries for eyes
  • 1 raspberry for the nose
  • Whipped cream for the ears

Method
 

Make the Pancakes:
  1. Heat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat. Prepare the pancake batter according to package directions.
  2. Pour one large circle of batter (about 1/2 cup) for the reindeer face and two small ovals touching the top edges for the ears. Pour one smaller pancake (about 1/4 cup) for the snout. Cook until golden on both sides.
Assemble the Face:
  1. Place the large pancake on a plate for the head and position the smaller pancake slightly overlapping the bottom for the snout.
  2. Place two banana slices near the top for eyes and top with blueberries. Add a raspberry in the center of the snout for the nose. Pipe or dollop whipped cream onto the ears.
  3. Cut about 2 inches off of each slice of bacon. Arrange two strips of cooked bacon above the head for antlers.
  4. Serve and enjoy! Serve warm with maple syrup and enjoy a magical Christmas breakfast!
