Great for Meal Prep – Pancake Bites can be made ahead, stored in the refrigerator or freezer, and reheated in minutes for a quick breakfast throughout the week.

Ingredients You’ll Need
1 box Pancake Mix (Just Add Water) – Using a just-add-water pancake mix makes this recipe quick and convenient. It provides the base for the Pancake Bites and helps create a soft, fluffy texture without needing additional ingredients.
Mix-In’s – Customize your Pancake Bites with your favorite add-in’s for extra flavor and variety.

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!
