It’s Easter! Forget the chocolate bunnies, make these Easter Bunny Pancakes instead! So much fun and super easy, if I can do it so can you!
Easter Bunny Pancakes
Pancakes are such a staple in our house, we have them more often than toast or cereal. I much prefer feeding my kids things made from scratch. While I was searching around for great Easter recipes I spotted some bunny pancakes by Jenni Price and thought I would give them a go. They were so easy! I grabbed some sauce bottles from Kmart for just $1.50 each.
These are made using the simplest pancake recipe of just 1 egg, 1 cup plain flour and 1 cup of milk. Coloured using chocolate powder and pink colouring. Pink food colouring works, for a healthier option try using beetroot powder.
These are really easy, the trick is to allow the pancake mixture to rest in the fridge for at least an hour to thicken and then do the outline first over really low heat and allow to cook slightly before filling the centre in, this way the outline holds its shape.

Description
Easter Bunny pancakes made with chocolate, pink and plain pancake mix.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3 cups plain flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pink food colouring or beetroot powder
- 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 3 sauce bottles
Instructions
THERMOMIX METHOD
Place 2 eggs, 2 cups of flour and 2 cups of milk into TM bowl and mix 10 sec / speed 5. Scrape down sides and repeat. Pour half the mixture into 1 of the sauce bottles. Add pink colouring to TM bowl and mix 10 sec / speed 5. Pour into 1 of the sauce bottles, set aside any extra mixture and clean TM bowl.
Place the remaining egg, flour, milk and the cacao powder into TM bowl and mix 10 sec / speed 5. Scrape down sides and repeat. Pour into last sauce bottle.
Place all three bottles into fridge for at least an hour or overnight if possible, to allow mixture to thicken.
Heat a flat crepe pan over low heat and draw the outline of your bunny. Leave to cook slightly for 1-2 minutes then fill in centre. Once mixture starts to bubble and looks firm flip over and cook a further 1-2 minutes on other side.
NON THERMOMIX METHOD
In 3 bowls, place 1 cup of flour into each. Make a well in the centre and add the egg, start whisking together and slowly add the milk, whisking continuously. In one bowl whisk in the pink colouring. In another bowl whisk in the cacao powder and leave the last bowl plain.
Pour each colour into each sauce bottle.
Place all three bottles into fridge for at least an hour or overnight if possible, to allow mixture to thicken.
Heat a flat crepe pan over low heat and draw the outline of your bunny. Leave to cook slightly for 1-2 minutes then fill in centre. Once mixture starts to bubble and looks firm flip over and cook a further 1-2 minutes on other side.
Notes
