Mini Pancake Cups for Breakfast

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

Some mornings just call for something different, something special to start the day off, so you make some pancakes, or mini pancake cups. Or maybe you just ran out of bread and oatmeal the day before you get groceries like us, and you have to make something to feed your children. Which is what happened to me this morning, just gotta feed the kids, anything that I could make before they started eating me!

Mini Pancake Cups

Isn’t it funny how your kids will eat something like they were straving when you just change one little thing like the shape of it. That’s how it was with these pancake cups. Not that they don’t usually eat pancakes like crazy too, but these barely touched their plates before they were gone.

The reason for the mini pancakes would be because I’m horrible for standing at the frying pan and not burning the pancakes, plus these are done just that much faster. I made a double batch which gave me 22 muffins.

What you need:

1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter melted
2 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

How to make Mini Pancake Cups

Mix together your egg, butter, vanilla, and baking powder together. Then alternate adding flour and milk to the mix.
In a greased muffin tin add your pancake batter, filling your cups about 3/4 full.
I topped some with chocolate chips and some with blueberries. You could also add them right into the batter, which my kids would have preferred I think.
Bake for about 15 minutes, they will be slightly golden, bouncy to the touch.
After baking, let them sit for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Ours fall out of the tin, when I tipped it slightly, and actually bounced across the counter.

What would you add to you mini pancake cups?

Homemade Pancakes

We don’t eat pancakes very often, but when we do have them, I make homemade pancakes from scratch. Fluffy, light, and filling. With chocolate chips, fresh or frozen berries… maple syrup.

Good thing I just ate or I’d be raiding the freezer right now for some of the pancakes that I stashed away for another day.

The other morning I got a craving for pancakes, and set out making them. With just me and the girls home to eat them, I froze the remaining ones for another morning. My recipe gives me 18 medium sized ones, the girls usually eat one each. I put them into freezer bags and froze. Which worked out great because Sunday morning as I sat down with my breakfast, guess what Blake decided he wanted?

My recipe is for making a whole lot of pancakes.

For my girls this morning they got chocolate chip pancakes. What kids doesn’t love chocolate for breakfast?

What you need:

3 cup flour
2 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 cup water or milk
2 eggs
1/3 cup butter

How to Make Homemade Pancakes

Mix all dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. I prefer to us my stand mixer to do the mixing for me. Then add in the wet ingredients, mixing them really well. You don’t want to bite into a clump of flour.

Once the batter is in the frying pan, heated to low-med (or 4 on my stove) I added some chocolate chips. I don’t like to add things to my bowl of pancake batter because they tend to sink to the bottom of the bowl. Plus this way We can all have our pancakes how we like them.

You can see that the pancakes are bubbling in this picture. Time to flip them.

I ate one of the chocolate chip pancakes. They don’t taste as good now as they did when I was younger, it was quite disappointing. One of the downsides to growing up I guess.
