This is an easy, kid-friendly recipe you will enjoy even if it isn’t breakfast time. Use caution with the blender. I always keep it unplugged while adding ingredients to help eliminate accidents.

Instructions

Using a child-safe knife, let your helper chop a few dates into pieces.
In a large blender, add all of the ingredients except the blueberries. Your helper can assist with measuring and dumping. Blend carefully (a job for a grownup).
Have your helper drop blueberries into the batter (“kuplink, kuplank, kuplunk”), then gently fold them in.
Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken while you heat a large skillet to medium-high (about 350 degrees)
Pour the batter into bear shapes forming the bear’s head with a dollop of pancake batter about 4 inches wide. Next, spoon on 2 smaller ears.
Decorate your BlueBeary pancakes using fruit for the nose, eyes, and ears. We used hazelnut spread to make our bear’s face brown and then decorated with bananas, blueberries, and chocolate chips.
