Description

Mini pancakes are a bite-sized delight that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a fun snack. These fluffy, light pancakes are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings, making them a hit for the whole family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil for vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Measure out all your ingredients before starting. This ensures a smooth cooking process.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix!
  • Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Use a tablespoon to drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Notes

  • For Vegan Mini Pancakes: Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water) and use plant-based milk and butter.
  • For Gluten-Free Mini Pancakes: Use a gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour.
  • You can freeze mini pancakes for up to 2-3 months. Store in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag.
