Mornings are crazy-time in our house. If you’ve got kids, or if you aren’t a big fan of getting out of bed in the morning, I’ll bet mornings are crazy in your house, too! Wouldn’t it be great to have a quick and easy breakfast you can grab and head out the door? (I mean something other than the standard granola bar, of course.)
This is a buttermilk pancake recipe, so it (of course) uses buttermilk. If you don’t have any on hand, you can substitute for buttermilk with this trick. If you have leftover buttermilk, freeze it in ice cubes so you have some left for next time!
This recipe was adapted from one in “Mom Knows Best” by Gooseberry Patch. If you haven’t checked out this cookbook yet, you need to get a copy!
These Mini Pancake Muffins are so fun… they’re easy to make in a mini muffin pan and the perfect poppable size. There is maple syrup right in the pancake batter, so you don’t need to top them with that delicious sticky stuff. Unless you want to, of course! Make up a batch in the evening, stash them in the refrigerator, and pop them in the microwave for a few seconds in the morning for a hot breakfast on the go.
These little guys are also freezer-friendly. Flash-freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet (like we talked about in this video), then store them in a Ziploc freezer bag. Thaw a few in the refrigerator overnight, or microwave them for a little extra time when you’re ready to eat them.
By the way, these Mini Pancake Muffins are also delicious for a sit-down, stay-home breakfast! Drizzle them with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite pancake toppings. Grab a fork (or your fingers) and start your day!
Enjoy!
