Mini Griddle Cakes – Yup, it is that time of year again when we all (who have kids that is) start to think of the dreaded lunchbox. #SundaySupper is here to help!

Some kids love the same old thing in their lunchbox but our daughter would not be happy with that at all. Variety is the spice of life for her!!

I actually bought a cookbook called Ready, Steady, Lunchbox which has helped me out a lot with her lunches. When either of us is feeling lackluster towards that little lunch kit I pull out this cookbook for inspiration. That is where I headed when I saw this theme.

Flipping through the cookbook I wanted to try something I hadn’t before. I came across a recipe called Junior Pikelets. Hmm, never heard of a regular-sized Pikelet!! LOL!!

They looked like mini griddle cakes so that is what I called them. When Ken made them the batter was super thick so we upped the milk by doubling and it made a nice smooth batter. We tried them for dinner and Amber loved them especially with Apple Butter!!

We freeze pancakes all the time for her breakfast for school days and these would freeze just the same. Super convenient to put into a lunch box. Add a little jam, apple butter, yogurt, peanut butter, whatever your child likes.

They are as good cold as they are warm. A great little side to a nice big fruit salad. I will be making these for sure again and again. ENJOY!!!
