How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get started on these scrumptious Pancake Mini Muffins! Follow these simple steps:

1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the cane sugar, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet until just combined with a rubber spatula.
4. Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
5. Fill the mini muffin tin with batter (it will make all 24 mini muffins).
6. Top the batter with mix-ins of choice or leave them plain. I did around 2-3 blueberries, 2-3 strawberry chunks, and around 1 tsp of mini chocolate chips for the different flavors options.
7. Bake the pancake mini muffins at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to sit for 2-3 minutes in the pan, then take them out and serve immediately.
9. Serve the mini muffins with maple syrup for dipping.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Pancake Mini Muffins turn out perfectly every time:

• Don’t overmix the batter! It’s okay if there are a few lumps; this will keep your muffins fluffy.
• Experiment with different mix-ins! Try adding nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for a twist.
• If you want to make these muffins even healthier, consider using whole wheat flour or almond milk.
• For a fun twist, try making Easy Egg Muffins For Toddlers by adding scrambled eggs and veggies to the batter!

• Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
• Pair with fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.

• Enjoy them with a side of yogurt for a creamy addition!

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
