The Breakfast Club Blasts Off!
Fun food idea makes it easy to have pancakes anytime
“Dad! Make us pancakes!!!!”
If your morning has ever started with a tiny person demanding pancakes, then you’ve probably gone through this debate in your head: Hmm, pancakes would be good, but aren’t the eggs a little old? Plus, the kids’ll just gobble them all up in five minutes while I spend the next 20 minutes doing dishes. “Nope, sorry, not today. Let’s have cereal!” you say to your disappointed audience.
The next day though, you’re at the store and you spot a tiny miracle: Batter Blaster. What’s this? A pancake and waffle mix in a can. Hilarious! Just like Cheez Whiz, right? But then you look a little closer and see that Batter Blaster uses organic ingredients, cage-free eggs, and the entire package is recyclable. Suddenly, these are sounding better than your Aunt What’s-Her-Name mix.
Of course, the big question is how are they? With a light and fluffy feel, they’re pleasantly good. Granted they’re not the best pancakes in the world, but making them is undeniably fun for everyone—kids love to get in on the action and help out. They can use the spray nozzle to make the most artistic pancakes around; crazy shapes and letters are no problem. And afterwards? Even easier. There’s no powdery mix to wipe up, and no measuring cups and mixing bowls to clean and put away.
Sorry, looks like you’re out of excuses. Every day is pancake day now.
