Ingredients
  

Basic Pancake Batter:

  • 1 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Buttermilk
  • 1 Large egg
  • 2 Tbsp Melted butter
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla extract

Toppings and Mix-ins:

  • Fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Banana slices
  • Nutella
  • Peanut butter
  • Maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Batter
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Step 2: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
  • Step 3: Fill the Mini Muffin Pan
    Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, fill each mini muffin cup about two-thirds full with the pancake batter.
    Add your desired toppings or mix-ins. You can place a few chocolate chips, a berry, or a banana slice on top of each filled cup.
  • Step 4: Bake the Pancake Bites
    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pancake bites are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
    Serve your Mini Pancake Bites warm, drizzled with maple syrup or spread with Nutella or peanut butter.
    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast on the go.
