Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 box Pancake Mix (Just Add Water) – Using a just-add-water pancake mix makes this recipe quick and convenient. It provides the base for the Pancake Bites and helps create a soft, fluffy texture without needing additional ingredients.
- Mix-In’s – Customize your Pancake Bites with your favorite add-in’s for extra flavor and variety.
How to Make Pancake Bites
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Prepare desired amount of pancake mix according to directions on the box.
- Spoon batter into each mini-muffin mold (almost to the top) and sprinkle with desired mix-in’s on top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Repeat until desired number of Pancake Bites is reached.
My Best Tips:
- What Batter to Use – Any store bought pancake mix works. I prefer using the ‘just add water’ kind, it saves on time!
- Use Well Greased Pan – These are soft and can stick easily, so generously grease the pan before filling. Re-grease between batches if needed.
- Mix-In Variations:
- Mini-Chocolate Chips
- Blueberries, Strawberries, or Raspberries
- Sprinkles
- Crushed Cookies
- Nuts
- Seasonal Spices (Cinnamon, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Maple)
- Dipping – We like to dip these in maple syrup, but you could dip in Nutella, caramel sauce, jam, or a glaze if you’d like!
