Mini Pancake Cereal is the latest Tik Tok trend, so versatile you can serve them with anything you want! I made them healthier with my banana pancake recipe and topped them with tons of fresh fruit.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup 1% milk, buttermilk or almond milk

• 1 cup unbleached all purpose or whole wheat flour

• 1 ripe banana

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon oil

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• cooking spray

• 1 cup fresh mixed berries, for topping

• 1 large banana, sliced

• optional whipped cream and colored sprinkles, for topping

Instructions:

1. Add milk, flour, 1 of the bananas, eggs, oil, vanilla, baking powder and salt to a blender and pulse until smooth and thoroughly mixed.

2. Pour pancake batter into a condiment squeeze bottle. (Or use a ziplock bag and cut a tiny hole in the corner as well.)

3. Heat pan to medium high heat and spray with oil.

4. Squeeze little small pancake dots the size of a nickel and cook until the top is dry and forms bubbles.

5. Toss the pancakes with a spatula and cook for a few more minutes.

6. Occasionally toss the pancakes around to help cook more evenly until slightly browned.

7. Transfer to 4 bowls and add sliced bananas, fresh berries and your favorite toppings (I like to drizzle honey).
