30 30

Ingredients

  • 2 cups biscuit/baking mix
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium bananas, sliced
  • 18 semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
  • Whipped cream in a can

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine baking mix and cinnamon. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and vanilla; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown.
  • Place pancakes on individual plates. For Santa's eyes, place two banana slices on each pancake; top with a chocolate chip. For ears, cut remaining banana slices in half; place on either side of pancake. For nose, remove nine cherries from pie filling; place one in the center of each pancake. Spoon 1/4 cup pie filling above pancake for hat. Use whipped cream to spray the beard, hat brim and pom-pom. Yield: 9 servings.

Made these for my family/guests as a just-beore-Christmas breakfast and giggled the whole time that I put them together! They are so much fun! Everyone smiled at their plateful of goodness! I am sharing with all my friends.

Make these every year for my two boys. It's become our tradition to have these Christmas morning!

These were so easy to make and were such a big hit. I think I will try to use the same ingredients and make snowmen!

Made these last year for my hubby! He loved them, and has requested them again this year. (I bought precooked pancakes, just popped them in the microwave) Very fast and fun!

I think this is adorabel and I think my finicky grandchildren just might eat it. I know I would. I am going to pass this on to my daughter-in-law too so she can make it for them. Thanks
