Why choose between cereal and pancakes when you can have both?
Attention, brunch-goers, TikTok fanatics, and amateur chefs alike: there's a new recipe taking over the internet, and it's an absolute must for your weekend plans. Meet pancake cereal. Although it may sound like the latest release from Kellogg's, it's simply a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Brunch version of the breakfast staple. Videos of the drool-worthy yet adorable meal have been popping up across TikTok for the last few weeks, and now that it's really sweeping over social media, we have no idea how we didn't think of it earlier. It's so easy to make!
While being forced to stay inside for long stretches of time hasn’t exactly been fun for many people, the past few weeks have demonstrated that there's an endless amount of creativity happening in the kitchen these days.
Many of us are looking for ways to stay busy and entertained while being stuck at home. And what better way to spend your time than experimenting in the kitchen! This time spent at home has struck many viral trends from boozy drinks to delicious treats we thought we had seen it all! Until now that is. The newest cooking trend is called pancake cereal. Now, if you’re asking yourself what the heck is pancake cereal? It’s essentially adorable tiny little flapjacks served in a bowl with milk, maple syrup, and butter!
No, this isn't a new boxed cereal that tastes like pancakes. Pancake cereal is made by cooking up a batch of teeny, tiny pancakes that are served in a bowl, then topped with any number of ingredients, like butter, maple syrup, fruit, chocolate chips and even milk.
The basic recipe is pretty straightforward and not that different from how one makes regular pancakes. Instead of pouring batter into a skillet free-hand, you’ll need to use some sort of squeeze bottle, syringe or plastic bag with the corner cut off.
Beyond saving lives, if there’s one positive thing to be said about self-quarantining, it’s that staying indoors has sparked a lot of creativity. Once upon a time, it might have seemed like too much work to make tiny pancakes. Now, it’s a fun breakfast project.
