Description
Fluffy, bite-sized pancake muffins that are easy to make, customizable with your favorite add-ins, and perfect for busy mornings, lunchboxes, or on-the-go snacks.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp melted butter or oil (plus more for greasing)
Optional add-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, banana slices, or chopped strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or oil) until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Add desired toppings like chocolate chips, fresh berries, or banana slices to each cup.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly, then remove from the tin and serve warm or store for later.
Notes
Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking, even if using a non-stick pan.
Use mini muffin liners for easier cleanup if preferred.
Mix dry ingredients ahead of time for quicker prep later.
Freeze extras in a single layer before transferring to a storage bag.
Reheat in microwave for 15–20 seconds or in oven at 300°F (150°C) until warm.
