Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 cup water
- Maple syrup for serving
- Fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas)
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by gathering all listed items and ensuring wooden skewers are clean and ready.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine pancake mix and water. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of large lumps, being careful not to overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

- Carefully flip each mini pancake and cook the other side for about 30-45 seconds until golden brown. Transfer cooked mini pancakes to a cooling rack.
- While pancakes cool, wash and slice fresh fruits like strawberries and bananas into bite-sized pieces.
- Once pancakes are completely cooled, thread alternating mini pancakes and fruit pieces onto wooden skewers, creating a colorful and appetizing pattern.
- Arrange skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with warm maple syrup just before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy these fun, portable breakfast or brunch treats.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the pancake batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day. Just give it a quick whisk before cooking!
- Perfect Pancakes: Ensure your skillet is hot enough before adding the batter. A drop of water should sizzle when it hits the pan. This will help achieve that golden-brown color.
- Fruit Variations: Feel free to mix and match your favorite fruits! Blueberries, raspberries, or even kiwi can add a burst of color and flavor to your skewers.
- Skewer Safety: If serving to young children, consider using blunt-ended skewers or cutting the skewers into shorter lengths to prevent any accidents.
- Serving Style: For an extra touch, serve the skewers with a variety of dipping sauces, such as chocolate syrup or yogurt, to cater to different tastes.
- Make It a Meal: Add a side of yogurt or a smoothie for a complete breakfast that’s both satisfying and nutritious.With these tips, you'll be on your way to creating the perfect Easy Mini Pancake Skewers that everyone will love!
