Pancake Tacos are a super simple way to make breakfast fun! Who wouldn’t want a pancake and taco combination?
Do I have the only kids who would rather eat with their hands than with a fork, knife or spoon? Especially when they’re ravenous they will come to the kitchen table and dig right in grabbing food and inhaling it as fast as possible. There are some foods that seem like they should be eaten with utensils, but they’re honestly a lot more fun to enjoy using fingers like chicken nuggets, pizza balls and especially many breakfast foods.
I’ve gotten to the point that I won’t even put out silverware in the morning when I’m making waffles, french toast or even pancakes as the kids prefer it when I fill little dishes with maple, honey or fresh raspberry syrup for them to dunk right into saving me the trouble of washing anything other than their plates.
I love it when they get extra creative with their food creating new ways to eat what seems like a straightforward food. Kenya hadn’t been feeling great a few weeks ago and was sticking to the BRAT diet – bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. On this occasion, Kenya sat at the table after a day without eating from being sick. He sat staring blankly ahead with little interest in the leftover whole wheat pancakes I had placed in front of him. The next time I turned around he had filled the pancakes with yogurt and fruit calling them “Pancake Tacos”. He looked just like he was at a Mexican restaurant, tilting his head slightly to the side making sure that not a drop of the creamy filling dripped out of his “taco”.
The best part is that he immediately appeared to feel better as he ate with his hands, quickly filling his belly. I watched the joy and pleasure on his face eating a food the way he wanted to and probably ended up enjoying it even more. No utensils needed!

I’ve been struggling with breakfast now that school has started again. This sounds like a great way to get my pokey eater to get some food in her belly before school. Thanks for the idea!
This is an awesome idea! Can’t wait to try this!
Making these tomorrow morning for my 17-month old. What a fabulous and fun healthy breakfast idea!
Breakfast tacos with pancakes!! Great idea!
My kids love go go squeezes, but I would never have thought to combine them with pancakes to make tacos. We eat breakfast for dinner once a week, and this is the recipe I will try next. Thanks for the great idea!
These are a favorite in our house!
We love go go squeeze!
I going to have to get the weelicious cook book now. Awesome tips and I’m so excited to make pancake tacos! Simple and delicious. Never would have thought of putting the go squeeze in top. Haven’t tried those as a matter of fact but my family does like to try new things. Well, maybe not my 4 year old who just became incredibly picky. But me, my husband and 1 year old are!
This sounds like a winner! Breakfast time can be challenging. This may just lighten my morning load! Thanks!!
We must try this!
What a great idea! These look delicious!
This is such a great idea! My kids want us to try making them!
The apple sauce is the best! The yogurt is something we have never tried. It looks good!
Love this idea!!
Love the convenience of Squeez bags and they are so much fun for kids!
My kids LOVE GoGo Squeez apple sauces and yogurts. And this mama LOVES fun, quick nutritious and delicious breakfast ideas. We will be doing these “tacos” this week! Thank you, thank you.
