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.
