Just like many Mamas, I am always on the go! Whether it is a dr's appointment, field trip or grocery shopping, it feels like I am constantly up and have something to do immediately! However, breakfast is not a meal we can skip or skimp on since it is the most important meal of the day. That's why it am so excited when I find something delicious and nutritious for breakfast that the kids love and will eat without a fuss. I remember my mom buying Aunt Jemima products when I was little and now I can buy them for my own kids. Only now, I don't have to stay in the kitchen all morning to make a great breakfast. In Fact, their newest addition to their frozen breakfast items, Lil' Griddles and, make breakfast fast and easy.
What are Lil' Griddles? They are bite-sized breakfast treats for the family "every batch made from scratch"! In fact, they are made from the same ingredients you would use to make the items at home, including milk and eggs. There are three options, including the Aunt Jemima frozen Blueberry Mini Pancakes & regular mini pancakes and Aunt Jemima frozen Cinnamon French Toast Sticks. Yummy! We went to our local grocery store and found the Aunt Jemima frozen Mini Pancakes Lil' Griddles mini pancakes. Of course, Liam was all for giving them a try because he loves pancakes! He is quite the picky eater and, since he has been sick, he is pickier than ever. Pancakes are one of the only things I can get him to eat. So naturally, we had to give them a try the very next morning.
Upon opening the box, I was surprised at just how many of the mini pancakes were in there. The entire box was stuffed full of them, so you definitely get your money's worth!
To make breakfast, all I had to do was put them on a plate and heat in the microwave for all of 35 seconds. Can you imagine a delicious breakfast in 35 seconds?! I knew they would be a fast meal to make, but I had no idea just how easy it would be to make them.
Liam loves prefers eating with hands instead of using utensils, so these are great for him. Bite-size makes them perfect for the kiddos and easier for them to handle, but mama and papa can enjoy them just as much.
We usually go for syrup on top of our pancakes, but it just so happens I had just made some delicious strawberry mix for shortcake to have later that day and the kids wanted that on top instead. Here's a picture of the results:
I was impressed with just how fluffy they are and the kids devoured them down to the very last bite! These were a definite hit in our home and I am positive we will be purchasing again in the near future. No more stirring ingredients and sweating over a hot stove for me! Lil' Griddles are perfect for our on-the-go family and taste just as good as the homemade pancakes my mom used to make me. Give them a try and let me know what you think!

I will have to try these soon, I haven't had these yet.
It's very true, breakfast is a very important meal of the day and statistically is supposed to help young ones with almost every aspect of the rest of the day, from mind to physical endurance. It makes sense then that when life gets busy, breakfast still be something to get in even though it's hard. I know at my house it's almost always chaotic in the mornings. Everyone is in a rush. The Aunt Jemima Lil' Griddles seem like a good choice for school days when everyone is too busy, especially moms, to make a hearty breakfast. I like their convenience and how easy they are to prepare to eat. They look healthy and filling. And I like how the size is nice for little ones to grab and eat so that it doesn't seem like a huge endeavor. They might even be able to grab a few and head out the door, though I think that'd be a last resort sort of thing.
She has great pancakes. We have bought them for my grandson and he loves them
