Instructions

1. Wash Hands

   Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling any food.

   Time: PT1M

2. Prep Scrambled Eggs

   Crack 3 eggs into a mixing bowl, add 2 Tbsp milk and a pinch of salt, then whisk until fully combined and a little frothy.

   Time: PT3M

3. Cook Scrambled Eggs

   Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat, melt 1 Tbsp butter, pour in the egg mixture, let sit 30 seconds, then gently stir and fold until just set. Flip once if desired, then remove from heat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

4. Serve Scrambled Eggs

   Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside. Keep warm while you finish the other recipes.

   Time: PT1M

5. Mash Banana

   Peel 1 ripe banana and place it in a clean bowl. Mash with a fork or kid’s hand until no large lumps remain.

   Time: PT2M

6. Add Egg to Banana

   Crack 2 eggs into the mashed banana bowl and whisk together until smooth. This is the batter for the pancakes.

   Time: PT2M

7. Heat Pan for Pancakes

   Heat the same non‑stick skillet over medium‑low heat and add a small dab of butter to coat the surface.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium‑low heat

8. Cook Pancakes

   Drop small spoonfuls (≈1 Tbsp) of batter into the pan. Cook until edges set and bubbles appear, about 2‑3 minutes, then flip with a thin spatula and cook another 2 minutes until golden.

   Time: PT6M

   Temperature: Medium‑low heat

9. Keep Pancakes Warm

   Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep covered with foil while you finish the batch.

   Time: PT1M

10. Optional Topping

    Drizzle a little maple syrup if desired; the pancakes are flavorful enough plain.

    Time: PT1M

11. Prepare Sticky Bun Topping

    In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp softened butter with 1/4 cup packed brown sugar; stir until a thick paste forms.

    Time: PT2M

12. Add Pecans

    Stir 1/4 cup chopped pecans into the butter‑brown‑sugar mixture.

    Time: PT1M

13. Open Biscuit Dough

    Using a kid‑safe knife, gently split each of the 8 biscuits into two halves (you’ll have 16 pieces).

    Time: PT3M

14. Assemble Buns

    Place the bottom halves of the biscuits on a lined baking sheet, spoon a dollop of the brown‑sugar mixture onto each, then top with the biscuit tops, pressing lightly so the topping stays inside.

    Time: PT5M

15. Add Water (Optional)

    If the pan looks dry, drizzle 1 Tbsp water around the edges to prevent burning during baking.

    Time: PT1M

16. Bake Sticky Buns

    Bake in a pre‑heated 350°F oven for 8 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the sugar topping is bubbling.

    Time: PT8M

    Temperature: 350°F

17. Cool and Serve

    Remove from oven, let cool 2 minutes, then serve warm alongside the scrambled eggs and banana pancakes.
