How to Make Christmas Reindeer Pancakes

To make these adorable Christmas Reindeer Pancakes, we’ll just need a few simple ingredients: milk, flour, a bit of bacon, an egg, butter, a pinch of salt, and a handful of tasty decorations like grapes, marshmallows, and chocolate drops.

First, I like to mix the milk, egg, and a pinch of salt together in a cup before adding flour. Once everything’s in, I beat the batter until it’s nice and smooth—no lumps allowed!

Mixing all the dry ingredients for the reindeer pancake

Next, heat up some butter in a skillet, and let’s start frying. For the reindeer’s face, pour out a large, round pancake first, followed by a smaller one that will become the nose.

For the cute little deer ears, make two small triangle pancakes. I think the fun part is frying up strips of bacon for the antlers—crispy, smoky, and perfect for that reindeer look!

Now comes the decorating magic. Place the larger pancake on a plate as the reindeer’s face, with the smaller pancake right below it as the nose.

Pop a juicy grape on the small pancake to make that big, shiny reindeer nose, then add marshmallows with chocolate drops on the top pancake for the eyes. I love how the bacon strips work perfectly as antlers, and the triangle pancakes fit right in as ears.

And that’s it! Serve these cuties warm and watch everyone’s face light up with holiday cheer. These reindeer pancakes make breakfast feel like a Christmas celebration all on their own!
