Easy Pancake Muffins
Pancakes are one of the best foods ever created. They are incredibly easy to make and they taste out of this world delicious! Not to mention my picky eating kids always clear their plates when I make them. So, when I saw these mini pancake muffins on Pinterest from Five Heart Home I knew I had to try them! They were a breeze to make and I couldn’t stop dunking and poppin’ ’em! I love anything that is miniature and bite-sized, it just makes food that much better and more fun to eat, for both young and old alike. These mini pancake bites are so easy to throw together and you don’t have to stand around forever flipping pancakes! Just pour in the batter, add toppings and give a quick bake in the oven, it’s as easy as that. I definitely preferred these fresh out of the oven, so if you don’t think you’ll need 44 then just make half the recipe.
Mini Pancake Muffin Ingredients
For these pancake bites, you’ll need:
All-purpose flour Granulated sugar Baking powder and baking soda Salt Buttermilk Eggs Unsalted butter Toppings of choice Maple syrup, for serving
How to Make Mini Pancake Muffins
Combine wet ingredients in one bowl, and dry ingredients in another. Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir to combine. Pour pancake batter into greased mini muffin tins and add desired toppings. Bake until pancake muffins are set and risen.
What Pancake Toppings Do You Recommend?
Sine these mini pancake bites are so tiny, you don’t want to overload them with toppings. I recommend adding either a single raspberry, four blueberries, or a scant teaspoon of mini chocolate chips just before baking these bites. You could also brush these pancake muffins with butter and roll them in cinnamon sugar once they’re out of the oven!
Can I Top These Pancake Bites with Frozen Fruit?
I haven’t tried it myself, but readers have reported success with using frozen fruit as a pancake topping.
Can You Freeze These Pancake Bites?
Again, I haven’t tried that myself (these pancake muffins disappear immediately at my house!). But I’ve had readers say they’ve frozen and reheated these bites with no problem. I imagine you’d need to reheat these in the oven, but I can’t say for sure.
Tips for the Best Pancake Muffins
Once you add the wet ingredients to the dry, let the pancake batter rest for a few minutes before pouring it into the greased muffin tins. These pancake bites won’t turn golden brown on top, so don’t worry if yours look a little pale when they come out of the oven. If you’re not sure whether your mini pancakes have finished baking, cut one open to test its doneness.
