How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Mini Pancake Muffins:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the cane sugar, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
4. Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
5. Fill each muffin cup with batter (this recipe makes 24 mini muffins!).
6. Top the batter with your choice of mix-ins. I like to add around 2-3 blueberries, 2-3 chunks of strawberries, and about 1 teaspoon of mini chocolate chips for a variety of flavors.
7. Bake the pancake mini muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the muffins to sit in the pan for 2-3 minutes before removing them. Serve immediately!
9. For an extra treat, serve the mini muffins with maple syrup for dipping.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

• Experiment with different mix-ins! Try nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for a twist.
