Instructions

Prepare dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined to ensure your pancakes will rise evenly.
Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine whole milk, large eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Combine wet and dry: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and fluffy; some lumps are okay.
Preheat and grease griddle: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Shape the pancakes: Using a ladle, pour batter onto the griddle forming a large circle for the bunny’s head and two smaller circles positioned on the top sides for the ears. This fun shape creates a charming bunny face.
Cook and decorate: Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles start to form and edges look set. Add mini chocolate chips or fruit slices onto the surface for eyes, nose, or other facial features before carefully flipping each pancake section. Cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

Use a non-stick griddle or skillet for best results and even cooking.
Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
Chocolate chips can melt quickly; add them right before flipping the pancake.
Customize decorations with berries, sliced bananas, or nuts as desired.
Serve immediately with maple syrup or your favorite pancake toppings.
