These Pancake Mini Muffins are the cutest and easiest way to enjoy pancakes—no flipping, no waiting, and no mess! They’re soft, fluffy, and perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts, lunchboxes, or weekend brunch boards. Plus, you can make a variety in one batch by adding chocolate chips, strawberries, and blueberries.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cane sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mini chocolate chips
Strawberries (chopped)
Blueberries
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together cane sugar, milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined.
(Don’t overmix—this keeps them fluffy.)
Grease a mini muffin tin well with cooking spray.
Fill each mini muffin cup with batter (this makes 24 mini muffins).
Add toppings:
2–3 blueberries per cup, OR
2–3 strawberry chunks per cup, OR
about 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips per cup
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 2–3 minutes, then remove and serve.
Don’t overmix the batter (a few lumps are fine).
Grease the tin well—mini muffins stick easily.
Use slightly cooled butter so it doesn’t cook the egg.
Want extra fluffy muffins? Let the batter rest 5 minutes before baking.
For even filling, use a small cookie scoop.
