Pancakes are just the most perfect weekend breakfast. Lazy mornings with pancakes, cartoons, and chocolate milk makes for the perfect Saturday morning with my family. For all the other days of the week, we are usually rushing off to therapy, field trips, the grocery store, or church so pancakes don’t always happen. These Pancake Mini Muffins make a great substation and are so simple to make. I mix up my dough just like I do my pancakes then pour them into the mini muffin tin. Now time to go get ready and get the kids dressed. Grab the muffins and eat them on the go or if you have some spare time grab a seat and drizzle on some maple syrup.

Can I make these in a regular muffin tin?
This recipe can easily be made in a regular size muffin tin. You can follow the directions but will need to add more cooking time. Your muffins will be done with you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.

Yep! That would work perfectly fine.
can you use store bought pancake mix?
Thats a great idea Aleya! I’ve put fruit in mine also and the kids love it! Hope you and your family enjoy!
I am going to make these today and add frozen fruit. I have a ton of it and need quick. breakfasts for the kids.
Yes you should be able to add the same amount of almond milk to the recipe. I have not tried it with this none yet, hope you enjoy!!
Can you replace the dairy with almond milk?
Totally understand that Aubrey! To freeze these once they are cooked you want to place them on a baking sheet so they are not touching each other and freeze them. Once frozen you can toss them in a big freezer bag but this way they don’t all freeze together and you can pull out 1-2 at a time. Since this recipe has dairy in it I would say 6-9 months (the regular time frame for freezing daily). You can pop out a few at a time and toss them in the microwave or oven until thawed! Hope you enjoy them =)
How long could these last? Trying to fix as much as possible in advance because we have zero time in the mornings.
I’m sure the whole wheat would be a fine sub I’ve never tried it with flaxseed but with a small amount it should work. Let me know how they turn out!
Hi, I was wondering if I could use whole wheat flour, and possibly add some flaxseed meal into these. Do you think they would still cook up properly?
I bet my teen would love making these on the weekends. I can’t wait to show them to her.
