- Diet: Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose pancake mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk (or water as per package instructions)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup assorted holiday-colored gummy bears (red, green, and white)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles
- Extra butter for the griddle and serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Stir until just combined; it is okay if there are a few small lumps remaining. Do not overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat until all batter is used. Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven if needed.
- Choose a large wooden board or a flat platter. Place small bowls for the maple syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles on the board first to act as anchors for your design.
- Place the warm pancakes on the board, overlapping them in a curved line or stacking them in small piles. Leave enough space around the edges for the toppings and decorations.
- Scatter the holiday gummy bears generously around the pancakes and in the gaps between the fruit. You can even place a few gummy bears directly on top of the pancake stacks for a pop of color.
- Fill in the remaining empty spaces with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Add a few pats of butter on top of the pancakes and sprinkle the holiday sprinkles over the whipped cream and fruit for a festive finishing touch.
