I've got a breakfast hack for my kids – it's the best thing that's happened to me as a mum & removes stress | The Sun

IF you’re a parent, you’ll know how valuable and important having time in the morning is.

So you’ll be pleased to hear that instead of rushing around and having to squeeze in breakfast, a mum has discovered a brilliant hack to start the day in the best way. 

Alexis Novoa was browsing social media when she came across the breakfast trick and decided to do it herself. 

And the 26-year-old said it’s totally “changed her life” as a parent, and that she’d never go back to her old habits. 

So Alexis, aka @alexisssnovoa, took to her TikTok profile to shout about it so that other parents could benefit too, just like she’d done when she saw it on @dliciouslyinspired’s page.

Alexis told her 46.3k followers: “Ok, the frozen pancake situation is easily the best thing that has ever happened to me as a mother and let me tell you why.

“We used to make extra pancakes on the weekend and put them in the freezer so that during the week, we could just stick them in the Air Fryer or the toaster and the kids would eat them for breakfast.

“But they never tasted as good as they do fresh – they’re a little bit soggy, sometimes they’re a little bit hard or sometimes they’ve got freezer burn.

“They’re just not the same, right?”

So Alexis was on the lookout for something that would not only taste better, but also still help her cut down on time on a manic morning.

She continued: “Then, a couple of months ago, I came across this hack and it has changed my life.

“I quickly make the pancake mix, I take different berries, chocolate chips, all that kind of stuff.

“I then let my girls fill ice cube trays with them, and then I pour the batter over.”

This means she has individual pancake ice cubes ready to be put into the freezer for storage and taken out whenever her daughters want one. 

Alexis went on to say: “Then during the week, I’ve got individual pancakes.

“They eat two of them normally, so I’ll stick them on a plate in the microwave and thaw for about one minute and then heat them up [in a pan like you normally cook pancakes].

“And they are the perfect pancakes and they take all of five minutes.”

Alexis was also quick to add that there was an additional benefit.
