Easy Pancake Sandwiches
It is that time of year again when the kids are all headed back to school, the busy season begins again. One of the things that I am really trying to do this year is to make sure that my kids get a good, healthy breakfast before they head out for the day. It is very tempting to just let them pour a bowl of cereal and call it good (to be fair, some days that’s all we have time for), but I know that they need something a little bit heartier to last them all the way until lunch. These pancake breakfast sandwiches are the perfect solution!
My whole family loves the Krusteaz brand, especially the Buttermilk pancake mix. The pancakes taste amazing and turn out perfect every single time. I love that they are so easy to make, all you have to do is add water to the mix and stir for a minute or two. The filling for these breakfast sandwiches can be also be made in advance and if you make a double batch, you’ll have enough for 2-3 days which will save you time in the mornings.
My kids love choosing their own fruit to go in their little sandwiches and they absolutely love the maple whipped cream filling. I really like the filling because it is mostly cream with just a hint of syrup, making it a lot less sugary and it is a lot less sticky too. I love that they can eat two pancakes in the time that it normally takes to eat one since you are stacking them together into a sandwich. This is really important for my kids since they tend to eat very slowly in the mornings, if you have kids you know how painfully slow mornings can be.

Pancake Breakfast Sandwich Ingredients
Heavy cream: For the amazing maple cream filling, you will need ½ cup of heavy whipping cream.
Maple syrup: Adding in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup will sweeten the filling up a bit and give it great flavor.
Pancake mix: Use 2 cups of Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake mix to experience the best tasting pancakes ever.
Water: You need 2/3 cup of cold water (or milk) to get the pancake mixture to the right consistency.
Fresh fruit: Choose whatever your favorite fruit is or whatever is in season. We think raspberries, blueberries, bananas, or strawberries taste amazing.
How to make Pancake Breakfast Sandwiches
Cream filling
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 5 minutes. Then, fold in the maple syrup until incorporated and keep refrigerated until ready to use (will last up to 3 days).
Pancakes
Next, measure out the pancake mix and add to a medium size mixing bowl. Then add in the water (or milk if you prefer) and whisk together until the mixture is mostly lump free. Continue to cook them according to the directions on the Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake mix package. This recipe will create about 12 pancakes total, to create 6 sandwiches.
Assemble
Proceed to let the pancakes cool for just a couple of minutes and then spread some of the maple whipped cream on one side of a pancake. Add whatever fresh fruit you desire and then place another pancake on top, making a sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
