Variations Ideas:
- Pancake Mix – We prefer to make our pancake recipe from scratch. Feel free to make your pancakes from a store bought pancake mix.

Step by Step Instructions:
For the Pancakes:
Step 1 – Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
Step 2 – In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and vanilla.
Step 3 – Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then stir in the melted butter.
Step 4 – Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pour the pancake batter onto the griddle to make approximately 18 small circle pancakes.
Step 5 – Cook until bubbles form in the middle, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the griddle.
Step 6 – Line a plate with a paper towel. Place the bacon on top. Microwave for 6-8 minutes (flipping halfway through the cook time) until the bacon is cooked through and crisp.
Step 7 – Place 3 pancakes on each serving plate in the shape of a snowman.
Step 8 – Place 2 pieces of bacon on the pancakes to look like a scarf on the snowmen.
Step 9 – Carefully dust the pancakes with the powdered sugar.
Step 10 – Make the faces and the buttons on the snowmen with the chocolate chips and M&Ms. Then the pancakes are ready to serve and enjoy with syrup.
Recipe Tips:
- Skillet – Before pouring the combined pancake ingredients in a large bowl, make sure to heat the large skillet and spray with cooking spray. This makes sure that the pancake does not stick and is easy to flip.
- Pancake Sizes – We like to prepare these pancakes in different sizes to make them look like a snowman.
