Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 3⁄4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, diced strawberries, chopped nuts, or maple syrup
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line with mini muffin liners.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough muffins.
5. Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.
6. If desired, sprinkle your choice of toppings on top of the batter in each muffin cup.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
8. Allow the pancake mini muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or enjoy plain as a breakfast treat.
Notes
You can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
These mini muffins freeze well; simply reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to enjoy.
For a healthier version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
Feel free to get creative with the toppings; try mixing in different fruits or nuts for a variety of flavors.
Perfect for brunch, kids’ breakfasts, or even as a fun snack to share with friends and family.
