I saw these cute breakfast pancakes, and decided to make them for a brunch. What a hit!  My friends thought they were a fun, yummy breakfast treat.

Kids and especially the little ones, will simply love holding their pancakes and not using a fork.

Dip into little bowls of warm maple syrup, and watch the smiles at your breakfast table or brunch party!

Pancake Muffin Mix Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ¾ cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

Pancake Toppings

• Blueberries
• Raspberries
• Mini Chocolate Chips
• Maple syrup served warm in small bowls for dipping

How To Make Pancake Muffins

Pancake Mix Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a separate large bowl whisk together buttermilk, eggs and melted butter. While whisking, pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and mix just until combined, the batter will be slightly lumpy -thats ok..don't overmix. Allow batter to rest 2 minutes.

Decorate Pancake Muffins

• Spray each well of two 24 mini muffin cup pans with non-stick cooking spray. Fill each muffin well about ⅔ full or a heaping tablespoon into each. I have a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop and filled it nearly full, and it bakes up to look just like a muffin
• Add 4 blueberries, 1 raspberry, or 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips for each pancake muffin.

Bake Pancake Muffins

• Bake in pre-heated oven 10 - 12 minutes they won't get much color, but they should be nice and puffed and centers should be dry. You can break one open to test or insert a toothpick which should come out clean.
• Cool one minute then invert onto a wire rack for the blueberry version you may need to run a sharp knife around edges to loosen. Serve immediately with warm maple syrup in little bowls on each plate.
• Great Idea: For a cinnamon sugar topping, once the plain muffins are baked, brush tops lightly with melted butter, remove from pan and immediately roll in cinnamon sugar - these taste like churros!

Other Pancake Muffin Flavor Ideas and Toppings:

These pancakes can be prepped ahead, popped into the oven, and kept warm until guests arrive.  

Try these other toppings to make them amazing for both kids and adults:

• crisp bacon & cheese
• crunchy cinnamon sugar sprinkled
• cooked sausage crumbles and cheese
• banana pieces
• pineapple & coconut
• peanut butter & mini chocolate chips
• raspberries & mini white chocolate chips
• dried cranberries & orange
• lemon zest and blueberries

As you can see the combinations are endless. Have fun and use up things you have on hand and come up with your favorite flavors combos!
