Monsters for Breakfast
When Nat and I were kids, our mom would make us homemade breakfast A LOT. Like almost every day. I took it for granted then, but now I know what an act of love and service that was. One of our very favorite breakfasts was “Monsters!” Well, that’s what my mom called them anyway, and so we grew up calling them Monsters too. (You may know them as German pancakes.) My mom’s recipe is the best! She passed it down to me, and now my kids love having these delicious pans of buttery goodness just as much as I did!
The sides and corners bubble up and make some really cool formations… thus the name, Monsters!
For Halloween, I thought it would be fun to add some candy eyes to make them even more like creatures:
What kid wouldn’t love getting this two-headed “monster” served to him for breakfast?? I stuck the candy eyes on with a dab of maple syrup. My favorite part about this recipe is how fast it is to throw together! I can easily make these before school. With just a few simple ingredients, and a blender, you can whip these up for your kids too!
