I start by laying down the Studio Huske Wriggle Mat on my kitchen countertop. This sleek and practical mat serves as the ultimate prep surface, catching eggshells, mixer spills, and serving ladle mishaps. Its waterproof and easy-to-clean surface ensures that your kitchen stays mess-free, even during the most enthusiastic pancake-making sessions.

2.1 Involving the Little Ones

If your little ones are eager to join you in the kitchen and stand on their learning tower, I recommend using our medium-sized Roam mat. This mat offers maximum spill protection and acts as a safety net for your kitchen. Now, your kids can be active participants in the pancake-making process without you worrying about spills or messes.

Unconventional Efficiency

3.1 The Power of the Raclette Maker

Get ready to embrace a slightly unconventional but incredibly efficient approach to pancake making. You can use the top grill plate of your Raclette maker to prepare up to 8 mini pancakes at once. The result? Fluffy, golden pancakes that will delight your little ones (and the grown-ups too).

3.2 The Perfect Fit

What's even better is that your Studio Huske mat fits perfectly under the Raclette maker. Thanks to its spill-resistant and heatproof properties, you don't have to worry about any mess seeping through. Your kitchen will feel like an iHOP in no time!

Our Kid-friendly, Protein-rich, Healty-ish Recipe

The goal with this recipe is to pack in as many nutrients and pack in as little fuss in the prep, so I very much eyeball it. Ultimately, I'm looking for a certain consistency. Very scientifically, I would describe it as, not too runny, but not too gloopy. Makes about 20 coffee mug sized pancakes. I'm vegetarian, but not vegan, so I use eggs. However, you could easily substitute with a chia egg. If I add chocolate chips I don't put them directly in the mixture, but rather add them at the end before flipping the to the second side. Served with a banana and unsweetened apple sauce or mango sauce, occasionally with honey or maple syrup.

I add the wet ingriedients before the dry, and whizz it in the food processor:

• 3 cups of milk or plant based milk, I use cashew milk
• 1 tea spoon of lemon juice (I buy it from Coop, juice in a glass bottle)
• 1.5 cups full fat quark, which is high protein (or cottage cheese, or greek yoghurt)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 ripe banana (fresh or pre-frozen). I toss abandoned bananas as in the freezer as I go, so they're always to hand
• handful of unsalted whole cashews
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 sachet of baking powder
• tablespoon of chia seeds
• tablespoon of pre-crushed linseed (bought pre-crushed)
• 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes
• 1 cup porridge oats
• 2 cups of half-white flour 
• teaspoon of cinnamon

To taste:

Cailler dark chocolate chips (the superiour choc chip choice ;)

Frozen Blueberries

I make this recipe at least 3 times a week. I also use the same ingredients/ mix for muffins, depending on our mood. The kids help me a lot with the prep. We use a Roam or Wriggle mat to catch any spills and the stand on our Architoys foldable kitchen tower (which is incredible).
