Christmas Tree Pancakes

These fun green Christmas Tree Pancakes are perfect for a Christmas breakfast or a holiday party. Kids will love them!

Christmas Breakfast

These Christmas Tree Pancakes are a show stopper for Christmas breakfast or brunch. They are colored green naturally (without food coloring) to look like a pine tree and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds or goji berries to add a splash of color.

Top with a raspberry or starfruit to make the look complete.

How to Make Pancakes Green Without Food Coloring

I used spirulina to make these vegan pancakes green. Don’t let the green color turn you off, you can’t even taste the spirulina. If you’re not a fan of spirulina, you can use matcha green tea powder instead.

Just keep in mind that the pancakes will be yellowish-green instead of bluish-green. Either way, the pancakes taste great. They’re flavored with banana, which is actually the star of the show flavor-wise.

Tips for Making Christmas Tree Pancakes

• Start with either the smallest pancake or the largest, keeping the finished pancakes near your stove so that you can compare them for the next sized pancake.
• Using the previous pancake as a guide, spoon the batter on the pan slightly smaller (or larger if you started with the smallest size).
• Flip the pancakes when they form bubbles and are golden brown.
