How to Make Pancake Bites

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

Prepare desired amount of pancake mix according to directions on the box.

Spoon batter into each mini-muffin mold (almost to the top) and sprinkle with desired mix-in’s on top.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Repeat until desired number of Pancake Bites is reached.

What Batter to Use – Any store bought pancake mix works. I prefer using the ‘just add water’ kind, it saves on time!

Use Well Greased Pan – These are soft and can stick easily, so generously grease the pan before filling. Re-grease between batches if needed.

Mix-In Variations: Mini-Chocolate Chips Blueberries, Strawberries, or Raspberries Sprinkles Crushed Cookies Nuts Seasonal Spices (Cinnamon, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Maple)

Dipping – We like to dip these in maple syrup, but you could dip in Nutella, caramel sauce, jam, or a glaze if you’d like!
