These pancake mini muffins are so fun!

Mini muffins are always a family favorite, and these pancake mini muffins are no exception.

Light and fluffy, they’re easy to customize and fun to dip. You can make any flavor you like, which is great for picky eaters. My kids loved the chocolate chip and plain versions the most.

While I enjoy regular pancake muffins, making them mini is a fun twist. They’re perfect for busy mornings and freeze well for quick breakfasts on the go.

“These mini muffins are very nice and super easy to make. I tasted one fresh out of the oven and I really like that there was not a lot of sugar in the recipe. I am looking forward to using different fruit; strawberry and blueberries were yummy.” – Shawnette

Step 6: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

When done, let the muffins rest in the pan for 2–3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly or serve immediately.
