Tips for Making:
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh. If the baking powder has expired, your pancakes will not be as fluffy.
- You can use pancake mix to make the pancakes instead of following the recipe. Use the same measurements to create the shapes for the bunny.
- Banana slices and chocolate chips can be used instead on the feet.
- Instead of a marshmallow you can also use whipped cream or banana slice for the tail.
- Any kind of milk can be used in this recipe – whole, 2%, fat-free.
- You can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the milk mixture if desired.
Tip for Making Pancake Shapes
To Make Circles: Use a turkey baster! Use the turkey baster to get the pancake mix, then apply to your pan. The shape will turn out round.
To Make the Ears/Feet: Use a squeeze bottle.
What Kind of Oil?
- Use a liquid oil rather than spray oil, if possible. Spray oil can cause the pancake to have a blotchy appearance.
- I recommend lightly wiping the pan’s surface with a paper towel after applying the oil or butter. This will help spread the oil evenly and remove any large patches that may cause uneven cooking.
- Can you use butter instead? Yes, the pancakes will be darker if you use butter on the pan rather than oil.
How to Store:
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments before enjoying.
- Leftover pancake batter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
How Many Bunny Pancakes Does this Make?
- You should be able to get 2 full body bunnies with a little extra pancake mix left over. Double the recipe if needed to make more bunnies in one session.

- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

How to Make a Bunny Pancake
1. See our pancake recipe below, or use pancake mix.
2. Make the bunny parts out of pancake batter:
Make a medium-sized round pancake.
Use the ¼ measuring cup of pancake batter for the body circle. Using a turkey baster will help make the shape a circle.
Next, make a small round pancake for the head.
Use 1.5 tablespoons of pancake mix.
Using a squeeze bottle, make 2 small triangles for the bunny’s feet.
Using the squeeze bottle, make 2 small ovals for the bunny ears.
2. Assemble the bunny:
Lay the small pancake down first, then place the larger one on the plate, overlapping it slightly.
Tuck the 2 ovals under the small pancake for the bunny ears.
Lay the 2 small triangles at the bottom of the large circle, overlapping slightly for the bunny feet.
Place some M&Ms on the bunny feet.
Add the marshmallow for the tail.
Optional: using a large marshmallow, press down on the top of it to flatten it a little bit. Then using scissors, cut 7 slits in the marshmallow all the way around it. This will make a fluffy white tail for the bunny’s backside. (If you don’t want to cut the slits, then just cut the marshmallow in half).
