If you’re not going to give in to the little voice that tells you to start your day with chocolate on Easter, we won’t judge. But, if you’re looking for something a little more breakfast friendly, here’s a bunny pancakes recipe too cute not to try:
South Africa (14 April 2025) — We all love a cheeky chocolate egg moment when Easter comes around, but it’s generally advisable not to start the Easter weekend (or any weekend) with a huge amount of chocolate at the crack of dawn (though we won’t judge you if you do). If you are looking to whip up a treat that’s a little more breakfast-friendly whilst still getting your Easter on, there’s a short, sweet and simple bunny pancake with your name on it.
Making fun pancakes like these is also a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen!
