Description
Soft, fluffy pancake mini muffins made with pancake mix, eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, and oil. Bake one batch for quick breakfasts, lunchbox snacks, or easy refrigerator snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups pancake mix or Bisquick
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Nonstick cooking spray, melted butter, or paper liners
- Optional toppings: chopped strawberries, blueberries, mashed banana, mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, seeds, peanut butter, or cooked crumbled bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray, brush it with melted butter, or line it with paper liners.
- Add pancake mix, eggs, honey or maple syrup, milk, and vegetable oil to a large mixing bowl.
- Stir gently until just combined. Stop mixing while a few small lumps remain.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Add desired toppings to each muffin cup. Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to gently press toppings into the batter.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops look golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for a few minutes, then serve warm or store for later.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter or the muffins may turn dense.
- Fill each muffin cup only three-quarters full so the muffins can rise neatly.
- For strawberry muffins, add 1 tablespoon finely chopped strawberries per muffin.
- For blueberry muffins, add about 6 blueberries per muffin.
- For banana muffins, stir 1 teaspoon mashed banana into each muffin and top with a thin banana slice.
- For chocolate chip muffins, add 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips per muffin.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate in an airtight container, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat thawed muffins in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
