Valentine’s Day Conversation Heart Pancake Recipe
Breakfast is always a challenge here before school, so I thought I’d start the day out with Valentine’s Day conversation heart pancakes!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Breakfast is always a challenge here before school, so I thought I’d start the day out with a little Valentine’s Day surprise!
I used regular pancake mix and mixed in a few drops of NEON food coloring
. (McCormick)
I then poured the batter into a ziplock bag and cut off a corner so I could squeeze out the batter into a heart shape. You could just make round pancakes and use a heart cookie cutter
as well.
I was happy with colored heart pancakes, but then I realized I had a little tube of gel icing so I made them into “conversation hearts”!
You can freeze any leftover pancakes for an easy breakfast the next morning!
Some other fun little tips:
- Pair the pancakes with a pink, purple or blue smoothie!
- Decorate the table with doilies, festive tablecloths, napkins, and plates.
- Leave a little token gift on your child’s seat for a fun surprise when they wake up!
- Add a special note telling your kids how much and why you love them.
- And of course, include your significant other!

What a cute idea. The kids would love doing this!
I love this ideA. So sweet.
I would never have thought of the ziploc bag. Smart.

Thank you for stopping by and let me know if you try them out.
Those are adorable. Pancakes are a big weekend staple in our house so I’ll have to try them. Who am I kidding, my husband is the pancake maker, I’ll have to have him make them 😉
Hey, if you do and add your own flare, share your pic with us!
Looks great, I may even go a step further and pipe on jelly for the words, but that’s only on a good day 🙂
@MommyB Knows Best, Jelly as the frosting is such a good idea!!
What a cute idea. I might just have to do that for my kids this year.
adorable!
@Melissa Taylor, Thanks!
Those are too stinking cute and I would love to try them but my husband would get suspicious that I laced them with something if I actually cooked him heart pancakes…lol
@Rachel Ferrucci, Hahahaha!
Thanks everyone for the comments! It was fun to do and cant wait for Valentines Day so the kids can enjoy them=)
These are way cute! But I’m not sure I could eat a blue pancake…. lol
Another idea is to recycle an empty ketchup bottle to squirt the batter (the no-drip lids work best).
@Gary, Ahhh, smart idea!
