Imagine you are a two year old, real-life superhero. You fly around in a cape, kill bad guys with your magic webs, giant hammer, and fight them off with your powerful shield all day long. One minute you are Spiderman, the next-Captain America, Batman, and then- the Incredible Hulk! And somewhere in between you might even transform into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? Confusing, I know. But it happens.
Being a superhero is exhausting. If your mom told you these Incredible Hulk pancakes would make you strong like him, and all the other superheroes, I think you’d eat them too.
Just like my two year old does. Getting this picky eater to eat Hulk pancakes is a cinch, and he asks for them regularly now.
To make these you simply make your favorite batch of pancakes (from scratch or from a box) and add green food coloring. You’ll also need a bunch of red grapes and some chocolate chips to make Hulk’s hair, eyes, and mouth.
If you’re looking for a way to sneak veggies into those picky eater’s bellies, another option is to make your pancake batter, put it in a blender and throw some spinach in to give it that bright green color. Kids will never know the difference.
He’s serious about this superhero stuff.
Incredible Hulk Pancakes
Ingredients
Your favorite pancake recipe or mix (I use a mix)
Green food coloring (or spinach)
Red grapes, sliced in half
Instructions
Make your pancake batter and add green food coloring to it until you get the right green color you want. Or you can blend your pancake batter with a handful of spinach in a blender.
On a hot skillet or griddle, pour two small circles. Flip pancakes as soon as the tops start to bubble. Cook on the other side then remove pancakes.
Cut a flat edge off of one of the pancakes to make the furrowed brow. Arrange pancakes and assemble as shown below. Place two grapes below the furrow for the eyes. Arrange grapes across the top of the pancake to make hair. Arrange chocolate chips in a straight line or slight pout to make Hulk’s mouth.
