Cereal, cookies, and pancakes are some of the world’s favourite foods, and it can be so hard to choose between them, so why not have them all?
The newest food trend to have arrived on our Instagram feeds after the viral Dalgona coffee, this one involves a bowl of tiny discs of pancakes and cookies that look like cereal, and is to be eaten with milk, butter or syrup, or even berries and other fruit. Check out more photos of these family-friendly breakfast trends below!
In addition to looking adorable, the pancake version is relatively easy to make. If you simply don’t have the time to create batter from scratch, all you need is pancake mix, a hot skillet, and a squeeze bottle! Here’s how to recreate this at home.
What you’ll need
- Pancake batter (from scratch or store bought pancake mix)
- Squeeze bottle to dispense the pancake mix, or even a plastic bag with a small snip at the corner will work
- Hot skillet
- Butter
- Syrup, or anything you like on top of your pancake cereal
Directions
- Make the pancake batter with pancake mix, or using recipes such as this.
- Use a squeeze bottle to dispense the pancake batter into small coin sized shapes onto a hot skillet with butter.
- Toss the pancakes until golden brown, then serve with the garnish of your choice!
Not such a big fan of pancakes? Try the cookie variation! Reminiscent of the old school cereal, Cookie Crisp, think of these as the new and improved version, involving real cookies.
You’ll have much to play around with this trend, whether you like eating the “cereal” by itself, with milk, or using other cookie variations, like sugar or iced cookies! Try this out yourself at home when you have time to kill.
What you’ll need:
- Ready made cookie mix, or cookie batter from scratch
- A small spoon to shape the cookies
- An oven and a baking tray
Directions:
- Spoon the cookie batter onto the tray into equal sized portions. Space them out enough (1/2-1 inch apart) so they don’t merge when baking.
- Bake the cookies according to the directions on the package or the recipe you’re using.
- Once finished, let cool for about 10 minutes before enjoying!
