Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups buttermilk room temperature (see note)
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (½ stick)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- maple syrup optional, for topping
Optional Mix-Ins
- cereal
- chocolate chips
- Fresh fruit
- jam
- Cooked crumbled bacon
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a 24-count mini muffin tin with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, using a hand whisk, beat the buttermilk, eggs, butter, and vanilla together, then gently mix into the flour just till combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the mini muffin pan, filling them to the top.
- Sprinkle toppings on each of the mini pancakes.
- Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove and serve with maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
- ¼ cup (21 grams) of unsweetened cocoa powder with the dry ingredients. You may need to add a bit more buttermilk if the batter is too thick.
- Storage: Store pancake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Buttermilk: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by measuring 1½ cups of milk, removing 1½ tablespoons of it, and mixing in 1½ tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let this mixture sit for 5 minutes before using in the recipe.
- For gluten-free pancake bites, replace the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free 1:1 baking flour.
- You can use an equal amount of neutral oil, such as vegetable, canola, or coconut oil, in place of the butter.
- Feel free to swap out the vanilla extract for a different flavor, such as almond.
- For chocolate pancake bites, add ¼ cup (21 grams) of unsweetened cocoa powder with the dry ingredients. You may need to add a bit more buttermilk if the batter is too thick.
- Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, such as cereal, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, jam, or bacon crumbles. Only add a few pieces to each pancake bite!
- Let the pancake batter rest for a few minutes before adding it to the muffin tins for fluffier pancake bites.
- These pancake bites don't brown on top, so don't worry if yours look a bit pale.
- Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a pancake bite; it should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
- Nutritional information does not include optional toppings
