Cupcake Pancakes

Too fun. We made them cupcake-shaped using this method then added some whipped cream and chocolate chips. A nice sugary start to the morning. Hey, I never said I was a healthy eating type. If it says "cake" twice in the name of your food, it's probably not a good idea. Don't judge me.

Do you feed your children any not-so-great-for-them foods? What do they love? Leave us a comment revealing the sordid details and you could win some key fob hardware to make your own Key Fobs with our tute!

Marisa said...: Oh, that looks yummy.

Heck yes, we have lots of not-so-healthy foods. Pancakes or waffles with syrup (and sometimes chocolate chips or whipped cream) once a week. Cookies, muffins, and/or cake whenever Mom feels the urge—and that is pretty darn often. I have a bit of a sweet tooth, and a weakness for baked goods.

But the rest of the time we eat very nutritiously, and everything is homemade. No Twinkies allowed in this house.; March 28, 2011 at 1:40 PM
sarah said...: Sometimes I cut bread into easter egg shapes, toast them, smear them with a ton of Nutella, put sprinkles on them and tell the kids we're having cupcakes for breakfast. I do try to buy the multigrain bread with all those seed things in it, so maybe it's not too bad? :); March 28, 2011 at 2:22 PM
eireann said...: Wow. For those I might have to break my "no cooking before noon" rule. Also, don't out me to my hubby, but one night last week while he was on a business trip my toddler and I had cookies for dinner. Hey, it was girls' week, give me a break. :); March 28, 2011 at 3:00 PM
Kelly said...: Who doesn't love pancakes?? Something we've recently discovered is Fruit Roll-Ups in crescent rolls. It's like a mini danish, all nice and compact and clean. I'm normally against my kids eating Fruit Roll-Ups. (They're so sticky, and, let's be honest, I eat 3 or more by myself...in one sitting. This is a judgement free zone, right??) But these are SO amazing! I've been meaning to throw a little cream cheese in them as well. Yummers!!; March 28, 2011 at 4:20 PM
Dakota said...: Lol... My little girl looooves meat.. Shes a CARNIVORE!! Sooo she eats alottt of hotdogs. ALOTT of hotdogs. And they arent kosher dogs. at all... :) and soooometimes when i get starbucks i share it with her... :D she reaaally likes it. but that one isnt as often. she gets grumpy after being all hyped up on extra caramal frappaccino with an extra espresso shot.. i know. its bad. :D; March 28, 2011 at 5:17 PM
Rachel said...: Yeah, we are pretty "nutritious" in my house too. My youngest is a grump when she wakes up from afternoon nap (and this is when I get to do most of my quality sewing) so I usually send the older children upstairs with candy to share when she wakes up so I can get a couple more minutes of sewing in. Also, we have dessert probably 4 times a week (both my husband and I love sweets).; March 28, 2011 at 5:37 PM
Jessica Hilliker said...: We try not to feed the little ones anything TOO sweet, but somehow everyday ends up being "special" and there is hot chocolate in the am or M&Ms {to practice math counting skills with! ha!} after dinner--my boys love anything sweet, so we generally make smoothies in the afternoons.; March 28, 2011 at 6:23 PM
Unknown said...: Twice the cake... you are a woman after my own heart. This is ever so healthy compared to my real cake with icing for breakfast. Don't judge me either. :); March 28, 2011 at 6:23 PM
Melissa Lewis said...: Well who could say no to pancakes, and cupcake pancakes no less. These are adorable and yummy at the same time:); March 28, 2011 at 7:43 PM
Beach Mom said...: I made pancakes for breakfast last sunday and they were reallllly dry & we had one squirt of syrup left-SOOO we had oatmeal/raisin cookies from Publix for breaky~it was awesome. AND my little guy was smiling away, he knew we were breakin' the rules!; March 29, 2011 at 8:28 AM
Christine said...: My husband loves the french toast I make. I use vanilla, tarragon and cinnamon, which isn't necessarily bad itself. Bu then he slathers on the butter and drowns it with real maple syrup. He and our 17 month-old daughter alternate bites...she screams for joy and practically jumps out of her chair for it!; March 29, 2011 at 10:06 AM
Jen said...: yes well unfortunately my daughter has put herself on strict diet of hot dogs, mac & cheese, fish sticks and mini hamburgers plus a few others. so i try to work with what i have and make better versions of all that - haven't figured out the hot dog angle yet. and i make my famous pancakes with whole wheat flour - when i retailed them i called them "aydan's favorite" because she actually ate them!!!; March 29, 2011 at 12:02 PM
Anonymous said...: home made butter cream on ritz crackers. yum.; March 29, 2011 at 8:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Chocolate chip scones, French toast, and slushies, to name a few. Ah, sugar and food dye. And our one year-old is still making out just fine.; May 13, 2011 at 7:04 PM
