     Last year on this post, I told you all about our family favorite Root Beer Pancakes!  Well, pull out those griddles, because I have another amazing pancake recipe that your kids will love! 

     On another blog, (I think it was livelovesugar.com but now I can't find it), I saw a recipe for Cherry Coke Cupcakes.  That got me thinking about root beer, because I love it and I wondered if I could make root beer cupcakes.  (That will be for another day!) Then, I thought about Root Beer Pancakes and I wondered about Cherry 7-Up Pancakes because they would look so nice and pink.  The cupcakes had added maraschino cherry juice in them and I thought the cherry juice added to the pancake batter would make the pancakes even pinker!  Well, of course I had to give it a try.   (Now you see how my mind works!)

Here is the nice pink batter!

Here are the pancakes on the griddle! still pink with toasty sides.

Cherry 7-Up Pancakes

Here is a nice stack ready to be embellished!

     These pancakes have a subtly sweet flavor and delicate texture.  I didn't have any cherry syrup to top them with so we just used our regular maple.  It was really good, but I think a cherry syrup would be extra good! For the 4th of July, you could give these pancakes a patriotic twist! We added blueberries and whipped cream to make them red, white and blue! 

You've got to have the cherry on top, and a few sprinkles makes everything more festive!

Here is the pink, fluffy goodness on the inside.

Whipped cream just tops it off perfectly. The blueberries gave us the final patriotic touch.

    This is a quick and easy breakfast to make for you family this summer! I hope you give it a try.  Just click the button above to print off your recipe! You will love it!
