How to Make Green Pancakes

2. Add green food coloring to the batter a little at a time, mixing until you reach your desired shade of green.
3. Cook pancakes according to the directions on your pancake mix, flipping once bubbles form.

Tips for the Best Green Pancakes

• Start with just a drop or two of food coloring and build the color slowly.
• Gel food coloring gives a brighter green with less product. I learned this from my days working at 3 different bakeries.

• Let kids decorate their own pancakes for extra fun.
