Ingredients
  

  • 6 frozen mini pancakes
  • 2 tbsp pistachio butter (or nut butter with green food coloring)
  • 3 strawberry slices
  • 3 mini marshmallows
  • 6 mini chocolate chips (plus more for monster "hair")

Instructions
 

  • Slather a light layer of pistachio butter (or nut butter of your choice) onto all six pancakes. Warm in the microwave for 30 seconds, if pancakes are frozen.
  • Top three pancakes with strawberry slices. Add remaining pancakes on top, pistachio-butter-coated-side-up (so it looks like a green monster head).
  • Break each mini marshmallow in half and smoosh it with your fingers to flatten it. Stick a mini chocolate chip onto the cut-open part of the marshmallow (it'll be sticky and help the chocolate chip adhere to it). Stick the "eyes" on each monster.
  • Add remaining chocolate chips as "hair" along the top of each monster, if desired. Serve as-is or with a drizzle of maple syrup.
