How to make pancake mini muffins
Step 1: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix together the cane sugar, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Step 3: Add the dry ingredients to the wet until just combined, using a rubber spatula. Do not over mix.
Step 4: Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and distribute the pancake batter evenly into the 24 mini muffin tins.
Step 5: Top the mini muffins with your mix ins of choice.
Flavor ideas
- Blueberry: add 2-3 blueberries
- Strawberry: add 2-4 pieces of diced strawberry
- Chocolate Chip: add 1 teaspoon of mini chocolate chips
Step 6: Bake the muffins at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Once the pancake mini muffins are done baking, remove them onto a wire cooling rack to cool, or serve immediately.
Serve these adorable bite sized pancake muffins with maple syrup for dipping.
These are so much easier than flipping batches of pancakes, and easier to eat too. Just make a quick pancake batter, add your mix ins, and bake for 10 minutes and you have an easy foolproof breakfast!

These are a HUGE hit with my LO, who is addicted to blueberries at the moment. The second time I made these, I filled each muffin tin halfway, added blueberries, filled them to the top with the remaining batter and added more berries on top for even more blueberry goodness. I’m so glad I found this recipe 🙂
can you just use regulat Pancake mix?
Have you ever tried without eggs or a substitute ?
It has not been tested with egg substitutes. If anyone else has tried it, comment here!
I made it today with no eggs! Substitute 1/4 cup apple sauce in place of 1 egg. Turned out delicious!
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!
can you freeze these mini pancake muffins?
How many days do they stay fresh? Should they be refrigerated?
Yes they should be refrigerated and I would think they should be fine for at least 3-4 days in the refrigerator!
have you used the regular size muffin pan instead of the mini?
I have not tried it for this recipe.
Could the sugar be replaced with honey or Maple syrup? How much would you use?
I have not tried it myself, but I think using maple syrup would work just fine!
Can you use almond flower?
