Frosty the Snowman Pancakes

To make Frosty the Snowman pancakes, simply break down the image of Frosty into shapes!

1. Using a pancake pen or similar tool, make a big round belly.
2. Add a circle for the head.
3. Add two legs with feet, sort of shaped like a boot.
4. Add two arms. All of this can be all one piece.
5. Allow this pancake to cook and then flip it.
6. Next, make Frosty the Snowman pancake’s hat. Make a straight line for the brim and a square for the top part of the top hat.
7. Flip over the top hat pancake.
8. Serve together and use chocolate chips, raisins, or other confections for the facial features.

TIP: If you have a skinny pancake batter dispenser that allows you to be very detailed, you can draw on Frosty the Snowman’s face and pipe first, and it will darken before the rest of the batter goes down. This leaves the details darker and more prominent!

Snowman Pancake Breakfast

Host a snowman pancake breakfast for your family this winter! It’s a memorable and fun experience, especially around the holidays.

Here’s how you do it:

1. Set out all the fixings in little dishes on the table. You should have an assortment of any of the following: chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, blueberries, sliced strawberries, and mini marshmallows. You can even put out pretzel sticks, although I’m not sure if they are truly the right type of food for a snowman pancake breakfast!
2. You should also put out your sugar sifter and some confectioner’s sugar to look like snow! The mini marshmallows will be like little snowballs.
3. Set a plate at each place setting. Have syrup and butter or whatever your crew likes on their pancakes.
4. Give each family member two or three pancakes, depending on their appetite.
5. Now the fun begins! It’s totally okay to play with your food today. Have them assemble their snowmen pancakes for a fun and memorable breakfast.

Christmas Snowman Pancakes

We love making special themed meals for our kids on holidays. For Thanksgiving, we make adorable turkey-shaped pancakes with bacon for tail feathers and an egg for a face. (Find the full instructions here!) You can use our Snowman Pancake Recipe to create an extra memorable and special brunch or breakfast on Christmas morning.

To make Christmas snowman pancakes a little more festive, consider making some Santa hats for them! You can do this with red pancake batter in one container and white in another. As an alternative, you can cut strawberries into triangles and use mini marshmallows for the ball on the end of the Santa hat. So many ways to be creative with pancakes!
