    Pancake Cake Pops

    Jump to Recipe

    Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day. Yet, due to busy schedules, it often becomes the most repetitive and boring meal of the day. Pancakes are a favorite breakfast dish, but if eaten on a daily basis, even the biggest pancake lover would get tired of them. I have a solution for that!

    If you have kids, then you know that they can be especially difficult to please when it comes to what they eat. How about making something that your kids will eat without complaining?

    In fact, I bet they will ask you for a second helping! I have just the recipe for you to try: pancake cake pops! With the word 'cake' in the title, it's sure to excite your kids. It's even more of a twist on the classic pancake than my pancake bread recipe.

    This recipe uses pantry staples, while offering a new twist on traditional pancakes. The blueberry and citrus combination are a winning pair of flavors. Another recipe I use this combination in is my blueberry mojito mocktail.

    Keep in mind that this recipe does require the use of a cake pop maker, which is a relatively new kitchen gadget. Once you use one though, you will likely be hooked. When you own one of these new gizmos, the possibilities in your kitchen will be endless.

    Once baked, these cake pops resemble mini doughnut holes, which is another bonus for you if you're trying to feed picky eaters! This recipe could be tweaked to omit the fruit if you desire, and instead sprinkle cinnamon, powdered sugar, or both, on top.

    While it's likely that these will all be gobbled up in record time, if you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge to be enjoyed another day. When you are ready to enjoy them again, pop them in the oven for a few minutes to heat through.

    Pair this with a side of bacon, and you have yourself a delicious, effortless breakfast. While this cake pop recipe calls for blueberries, feel free to change it up by adding a different kind of fruit. Raspberries and chopped strawberries are good alternatives.

    You could even try peaches or nectarines, cut into cubes. How many different possibilities can you envision?

    Notes

    • If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge to be enjoyed up to a week.
    • They can also be frozen for up to 2 months. I recommend using a freezer bag.
    • When you are ready to enjoy them again, pop them in the oven or microwave for a few minutes to heat through or serve them cold.

        Hi Frances, I actually have a tutorial for how to use a mold for baking cake pops. I bake them in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes (you can insert a toothpick to check if your mold has holes) and then I let them sit for another 5 minutes before opening up the mold. Hope that helps!
