OK, not really pizazz, but just a little more exciting than plain boring pancakes! Our fav pancake mix is Aunt Jemima's Whole Wheat Blend. I can only find them at Wal-Mart these days, but they are sooo yummy.
The back of the box has suggestions of add-ins that we have loved. Add these to your next batch of pancakes! (1 cup mix/1 cup milk + other ingredients is base)Chunky Pecan (yes, my kids like nuts!)
Add 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Blueberry
1/4 cup fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) blueberries
Cinnamon and Brown Sugar (my kiddos favorite!)
Add 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and 2 TBS brown sugar
Apples and Cinnamon
Add 1/4 cup applesauce and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
You can also make shapes with pancake molds, cut pancakes out with cookie cutters to be fun shapes or even spell out their name, make your pancakes different colors with food coloring (green for St. Patricks day!), or even add food coloring to a small amount and put it in a syringe to make designs or happy faces on the pancake with. (I did a whole post on this so just search "pancake.") So make your next breakfast yummy and exciting- surprise your kiddos instead of serving up the same old! They'll love it.

I love the fun family activity ideas that you post, it gets my brain a crankin and gets me doin fun things too! We try and do a breakfast for dinner at least once a week so I will have to use this idea for one of them to make the pancakies a little more exciting!
Pancakes are one of my very favorite foods. I love to put pured sweet potatoes in them (it's the only way I can get Carson to eat something orange sometimes!)
