Description

Fluffy mini pancakes folded into taco shapes and filled with whipped cream, fruit, or spreads like Nutella and peanut butter. A playful, customizable breakfast that’s perfect for kids, brunch, or weekend mornings.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tbsp sugar (optional)

¼ tsp salt

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 large egg

2 tbsp melted butter

For the Fillings

Whipped cream or cream cheese

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 banana, sliced

Nutella or chocolate spread

Peanut butter or almond butter

Honey or maple syrup

Optional Extras

Granola

Yogurt

Powdered sugar


Instructions

  • Make the Batter – Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until smooth.

  • Cook the Pancakes – Heat a skillet over medium, grease lightly, and pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form, flip, and cook until golden.

  • Prepare Fillings – Slice fruit, whip cream, and set out toppings.

  • Assemble Tacos – Fold each pancake into a taco shape. Spread with whipped cream, cream cheese, or nut butter, then add fruit and drizzle with syrup.

  • Serve & Enjoy – Arrange on a tray or set up a pancake taco bar with all the toppings.

Notes

Make pancakes slightly smaller than usual so they fold easily.

Store leftover pancakes (without fillings) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Customize with savory fillings like scrambled eggs, cheese, or bacon.
