Your kids will go bananas over these pancakes. My boys absolutely loved them. My younger pancake-loving son also loves to make monkey sounds. For a special 2nd birthday breakfast treat (and with monkey on my mind from planning his birthday party) we enjoyed these chocolate-banana monkey pancakes. They are easy and entertaining, and they make a healthy breakfast, snack or dessert. Your kids will most likely have fun creating the monkeys, too. I used ingredients that we had in our kitchen – Nutella, bananas and peanut butter – but the options are endless as far as pancake flavors, toppings and “edible art” accessories.

- Heat a griddle to medium heat and cook the pancakes until they are golden brown on each side, making one large circle and one small pancake per monkey.
- Spread Nutella (or another topping of your choice) on the large pancake.
