Cottage Cheese Carrot Easter Bunny Pancakes

All week we've been having fun making Easter-themed recipes and the kids and we have been having a blast.
This morning we made some yummy and healthy cottage cheese carrot Easter bunny pancakes. The kids had fun decorating them and eating them (mostly eating the decorations...hahaha)...

I started by blending all the wet ingredients (cottage cheese, baby food puree, banana, eggs, honey, and a few splashes of V8 carrot blend juice) until smooth. I used the biggest blender cup in my Ninja blender system.

I used banana-carrot-mango baby food puree and the carrot mango V8 veggie blend for the carrot components, in keeping with the Easter bunny theme.

Then I added the oats and blended the mixture again until smooth.

All you have to do next is cook them like you regularly would cook pancakes in an oiled and heated pan.

Next comes the fun part of turning them into Easter bunnies and decorating them. Each bunny is made of two pancake circles. One is for the head, and the other circle is cut into three pieces: 2 ears and a neck.

I happened to have some marshmallows and raisins, so that's what the kids used to decorate the bunnies with eyes and mouths, but you can use anything you want such as nuts, dried fruits, candies, etc.

Cottage Cheese Carrot Pancakes

1 and 1/2 cup cottage cheese

1 banana

2 eggs

1 tub banana-carrot-mango baby food puree (4oz)

1-2 tsp (or more) honey to taste

1-3 splashes of V8 carrot mango veggie blend juice

6 pouches oatmeal (about 1 and 1/2 cup oats)

Blend all the ingredients together except the oats until smooth, then and the oats and blend again until well mixed. Cook pancake circles in a heated and oiled pan until done.
