My son is honestly the pickiest eater I know. I mean this kid lives off of peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches and I have given up on getting him to eat any vegetables. As a mom, I love making food that my kids are actually going to eat and enjoy. For my son, “Colby’s Pancakes” are one of the only things that I know I can make for him and he will clean his plate every single time. Really though, the whole family loves these pancakes, so they are a weekend morning regular around here for sure. It probably doesn’t hurt that they are usually full of chocolate chips, fruit or sprinkles and topped with butter!
My son and my husband like these pancakes with chocolate chips, my oldest daughter always asks for sprinkles in hers, I like them plain or with blueberries and my youngest daughter will pretty much eat anything you put in front of her. The baby can’t eat these yet, but I am pretty sure I am going to have to double the recipe when he is old enough. You can definitely get creative with these and add all sorts of things. I would love to hear what you do with yours! This recipe makes about 10 pancakes, but if you have more or less people, it can easily be halved, doubled or even more.
If you are using a non-stick skillet or griddle, there is no need to use butter in the pan. If you are not using non-stick, you will want to grease the pan with a little butter before each pancake to prevent them from sticking. Enjoy!
These are the ingredients that you will need to make Colby’s Pancakes:
- Butter
- Milk
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Flour
- Salt
- Sugar
- Baking Powder
