Pancake sandwiches

Today we had pancake sandwiches, or towers, rather, for our snack. They were a hit.
I cooked a big pan of non-scrambled eggs (like an omelet, but just eggs), and some miniature multi-grain pancakes (some studded with crumbled, cooked sausage) last night. This morning, I gathered some other stackable goodies and sliced them or cut them into rounds with a biscuit cutter. Finally, I platterized the ingredients (cool, I like that word).
Our total list of stackable, spreadable components for today's snack included: pancakes (2 varieties), scrambled eggs, cheese, strawberries, baked sweet potato, pepperoni, cream cheese, and a few drops of syrup. We enjoyed several unique sandwich combos. And, yes, the kids did eat the veggie.

Here's a variation on this snack and a couple other kid-built treats we've tried in the past:
pancake cups
cracker stackers
stuffed crescents

Sometime, I'll have to do a series of pictures featuring tiny hands interrupting photo shoots. My collection is growing.

That's a good example of using "a spoonful of sugar"! The element of fun makes the healthful food so much more appealing (without all the actual sugar).

That looks awesome! My kids would love creating their own "sandwiches". Thanks for the great idea!

So cute! My son is going to LOVE this! I've always liked keeping leftover pancakes in the freezer for future sandwich making. Usually I resort to nut butter and thin apple slices. You are an inspiration!

I found you on kiddio ... what a treat!
