A healthy treat for a children's party or school is a Strawberry Banana Pancake skewer. This summer treat stands the test of tests. It is healthy, contains vitamins, looks nice, and is not (too) unhealthy. And most importantly, it's super tasty. Young and old will love this delicious treat!
Strawberry Banana Pancake Skewers
Treats always come up with something different, and schools have strict rules. No candy. But yes, it is still a birthday. This treat meets the 'health requirements,' and the kids will love it. Not only pancakes for breakfast but in a treat!
I make these delicious mini pancake skewers, not just for treats in a class. But I also made it for a birthday party (healthy, fun snack) and as a twist on the breakfast classic! Easy to make, great result.
The soft and pillowy mini pancakes, yummy strawberries, and sweet bananas were a great combination. As a result, the dish was empty after going around; young and old liked this snack. This is such a delicious snack for everyone.
The recipe is adapted from the Dutch book Veggie kidz written by Eef Ouwenhand and Monique Jansse.
What do you need for banana and strawberry mini pancakes kabobs?
To prepare these strawberry pancake skewers, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Strawberries: Washed and hulled. Always wash strawberries while the crown is still on. Otherwise, the strawberry will absorb all the water. You can replace the strawberry with watermelon, pineapple cubes, or grapes.
- Bananas: Bananas discolor quickly, so make this snack last minute. To prevent discoloration of the banana, you can brush it with lemon juice so that you can hold it well for about an hour. And if you want to prepare this much earlier, replace the banana with cubes of melon or mango.
- Pancakes: Make them yourself with this poffertjes recipe or buy them ready-made (it's that easy). You use the pancakes cold.
