Makes about 5 pancakes

I got the idea for these adorable bear-pancakes when watching “27 dresses” and knew my kids would love them…and they do!!! I make them late morning and serve them for dinner that night.

(pic taken before dehydrating)

Ingredients

  • 1 apple, skin removed
  • ¾ cup golden flax seed, ground
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup water, or as needed
  • blueberries , for eyes
  • cut strawberries, for mouth

Preparation

Process apple in food processor or blender. Add remaining ingredients (except blueberries and strawberries) and blend until a batter is formed. You can add more water if it is too thick but you want it pretty thick to shape it.

Put a large scoop on the teflex sheet and form into a pancake. Take two smaller dollops and form ears (you can use a spoon or small spatula to shape the face). Add eyes for blueberries and cut strawberries for mouths.

Put in dehydrator on 105. After 3 hours flip using a spatula and dehyrate for another 3 hours. Serve with maple syrup.
