Pancake Bites (Mini Pancake Muffins)
Description
This recipe transforms traditional pancake ingredients into small, portable bites by baking them in mini muffin tins. The batter mixes flour, baking powder and soda, salt, with buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mini chocolate chips or blueberries are folded in for bursts of sweetness.
Preheated to 350°F, the mini muffin pan yields pancake bites that puff up and develop golden edges while remaining soft inside. The recipe suggests reserving a few chips to sprinkle on top before baking for attractive presentation. These bites can be served with additional maple syrup, making them a convenient alternative to pancakes without stovetop cooking.
Storage and reheating tips include keeping leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to four days or freezing up to three months. Gentle reheating in the microwave or oven restores warmth and texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries
Instructions
