I'm a big fan of opening my eating window with something worth opening it for, and these little skewers definitely qualify — especially with a hot cup of coffee. Pancakes are fantastic by themselves, but layering in fresh fruit and a maple syrup drizzle takes them up a notch.

Are these an appetizer, breakfast, or brunch item? I'll let you decide.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking mix (like Bisquick)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2-3 bananas, sliced
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the baking mix, milk, and egg.
  2. 2Heat an electric skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon the batter into a squeeze bottle and squeeze quarter-size rounds onto the pan.
  3. 3Cook until bubbles rise and the bottom is golden, then flip to cook the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
  4. 4Assemble the skewers: start with a pancake, add a strawberry slice, a banana slice, another pancake, and repeat once more.
  5. 5Top with a fresh blueberry and push a skewer through the middle.
  6. 6Dust lightly with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with maple syrup.

Tips

  • Make these gluten-free and/or plant-based by swapping in your favorite pancake recipe.
