MAKES: 4 BUNNY PANCAKES
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 Color Kitchen Gluten-free Rainbow Pancake Mix
1 ½ cup milk (or substitute)
2 tbsp melted butter or oil
2 eggs (or egg substitute)
½ cup whipped cream

Directions

Blend pancake mix with milk, butter and eggs. Split batter into 4 bowls, approx ¾ cup each. Add 1 color packet to each bowl and blend until all the color has dissolved.

Heat a skillet to medium-low heat. With the pink batter, make large (about 4-inch) circles on the skillet for the body. For the head, use the yellow batter to make medium (about 2-inch) circles.  Using the green batter, make small (about 1-inch) circles for the feet.  And lastly, for the ears use the blue batter, making small (about 2-inches x 1 inch) ovals. Cook all pancakes for about 2 minutes on each side.

Assemble the bunny. Place the blue ears at the top of a plate. Place the yellow head slightly overlapping the bottom of the ears.  Place the pink body pancake below the head, slightly overlapping. Place two green feet pancakes at the bottom, slightly overlapping the body. Place a dollop of whipped cream on the body just above the feet to make a tail.

Top with butter or syrup to your liking and enjoy!

Pumpkin Orange Spice Pop Tarts | Natural

Who doesn’t love poptarts? Pumpkin spice? Combine these two cult favorites and get the most delectable treat, ever!

MAKES: 8 POP TARTS
Prep time: 25 minutes, Cook time: 25 minutes, Chill time: 1 hour 

INGREDIENTS

DOUGH
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold
4-6 tbsp ice-cold water
1 egg (for egg wash)

FILLING
½ cup pumpkin purée
3 tbsp brown sugar
½ tsp pumpkin spice
1 egg

ICING
1 Color Kitchen Plain Icing (Frosting) Mix
3 tbsp milk or milk alternative
1 Color Kitchen Orange Color Packet
½ tsp natural orange extract (optional)

DIRECTIONS

 In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. 

Using a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture to create a coarse meal.  Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and stir with a wooden spoon after each addition until the mixture comes together in a crumbly dough. 

Divide the dough in half and form each half into a disk.  Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling.  Combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until evenly combined.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

When the dough is done chilling, roll each disk into a large rectangle, about ⅛ inch thick. Cut 8 even rectangles from each dough disk (16 rectangles total).

Place 8 rectangles on the baking sheet. Spoon a dollop of filling on each of the 8 rectangles, then place another rectangle of dough on top.  Crimp the edges with a fork. Use a knife to poke a few holes on top of each pop tart.

Whisk an egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.  Brush the egg wash over each pop tart.

Bake the pop tarts for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

While the pop tarts are cooling, make the icing. Combine powdered sugar and color in a large bowl and blend. Then whisk in the remaining ingredeints until combined.

 Spoon some icing onto each pop tart, and top with sprinkles. Allow icing to dry before enjoying.
