Hungry Caterpillar pancakes recipe

Do your kids love the Hungry Caterpillar? Imagine their little faces when they see this pancake creation. It may look a little tricky to make yourself but it actually couldn't be easier. We took our basic pancake recipe, added a little food colouring, did a little cutting and voila. This fun pancake recipe (opens in new tab) is not just for Pancake Day, we think it would make a lovely breakfast treat for the little ones' birthdays too.

Ingredients

• 1x batch of pancakes
• Red food colouring
• Green food colouring
• Cookie cutter
• Mini marshmallows
• Chocolate chips

Method

1. Make up a batch of pancake batter and split into two. Colour one half green and one red with a few drops of food colouring. Add the food colouring slowly and stir until you get the desired colour.
2. Make 2 green pancakes and 1 red (you can use the leftover batter to make other fun characters) and allow to cool.
3. Cut 9 green circles and one red and arrange in the shape of the caterpillar.
4. Cut triangles from the leftover red pancake and arrange for the feet. Cut 2 thin strips for the antennas.
5. Place 2 marshmallows on the red circle for the eyes and top with chocolate chips.
6. Cut any remaining green pancake into strips to make grass.
