Take your favorite pancake recipe and make it into pancake muffins instead! The whole family will love them as a quick breakfast or snack. Top with chocolate chips, bacon or fruit!
My kids are pancake OBSESSED. No really! They eat pancakes EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. I am shocked none of them have turned into little flapjacks already!
They’ve eaten me out of house and home this summer and honestly, my kitchen was bare one day. Except for a box of our favorite pancake mix.
I suggested we just make pancake mix muffins, instead of our usual fluffy pancakes and I was shocked to see their faces light up the first time I made these easy baked pancake muffins!
So now, we make a big batch of this easy pancake muffins recipe every week! It’s such an easy recipe to make for busy mornings or snack time using just pantry staples in just a couple of minutes for the ultimate grab and go recipe!
The original recipe is very versatile. You can make a variety of different portable pancakes using one pancake batter. I won’t lie, even I love these pancake muffins as an adult, they’re great with a cup of coffee. Making these little pancake muffins is perfect for little hands or the entire family. You get the convenience of a muffin with all of the flavors of pancakes.
My kids have gotten to the age now where they are totally capable of making these Pancake Muffins all on their own and I just love it! My daughter recently made them for her friends during a sleepover! They were a big hit!

Yes, but when you add toppings, it makes it sweet and fun for them! You can also dip them in syrup or add some syrup to the batter.

Hi! I have pancake mix that only requires water to be added. Should I just follow the directions on the box or should I use your instructions to add milk and egg? Thank you!

@momma lew, I am sorry but you never answered the question. Do you use water or substatute the water with milk and eggs or both water and milk for the muffins. You was not clear. Thank you
