I don't know if you've ever heard of these before but I hadn't and the lazy part of me got so happy it literally jumped up and made these the minute I saw them. Conveniently, it was also morning.
Pancake muffins. What can I say? Pros: 1. You don't have to sit and flip your pancakes one by one. 2. It's super fast to make. 3. Everyone gets to eat at the same time 4. You can substitute the chocolate chips with just about anything or make them plain. 5. They'll make you happy. They'll make your kids happy. They'll make your whoever happy. No need to elaborate any more than this really AND I've got a lot of cleaning to do today so be happy with photos and a recipe my little friendlings and run along. And please, please, please... try these.

Mini Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins: (Adapted from Bakerella. Thank you, Essmat, for introducing me.)
1 cup of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar
2/3 cup of buttermilk (I used a buttermilk substitute - 2/3 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar left to stand for 5 to 10 minutes)
1 egg
2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup (I used pancake syrup because I had it around. I'd love to try this with honey or vanilla.)
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Generously grease mini muffin pan. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Sift together with a wire whisk. In another bowl, stir buttermilk, egg, maple syrup and melted butter until combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in your chocolate chips and keep a few to sprinkle on the top. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. (My chocolate chips sadly didn't stay on top.)
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Stir in your chocolate chips and keep a few to sprinkle on the top. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. (My chocolate chips sadly didn't stay on top.)
Makes 24 mini pancake muffins. Let cool slightly and remove from the pan. You may need to use a toothpick around the edges to separate the pancake muffins from the pan. Serve immediately with warmed butter, maple syrup, pancake syrup, chocolate sauce, your call really. You really should dip these in something. They are, after all, meant to be dipped. And one of the best things about them is how they slip right out of the pan. I love things that don't make me scrub to get stuff out.
Oh I have seen these and have not tried them yet. Your photos are really tempting me though.
ReplyDeleteMemoria: They were super. I had never tried out a Bakerella recipe and these... these were something else and SO EASY! Shamefully easy. Will check back to see if you decide to try them out. :D

ReplyDeleteOh, I`ve just made them, after had seen on foodbuzz...
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to tell U...they are amaazzzzing!
Thank You!:)
Addicted: I'm happy someone else is sharing in the fun. Enjoy. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're adding items to a batter such as chips or raisins, tossing them in a tablespoon or two of the dry ingredients first helps keep them dispersed in the batter rather than sinking.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Sarah: I came to your site because of these puffins (saw them on the FoodBuzz top 9) and I can't believe you're so new to food blogging. Your blog is great, I'll be a frequent visitor! Hope you stop by mine sometime, too. :)
ReplyDeleteOmg, these are SO GOOD. made 2 dozen, & im afraid Im going to eat them all before my boyfriend gets home!!
ReplyDeletePandora: Thanks so much for the great tip. I'll definitely be trying this out the next time I make something requiring chips, raisins, etc.
ReplyDeleteCami: Haha! You've got one of two options: make more or pretend you never made them to begin with. ;)
ReplyDeleteStephanie: I'm super new. A month old actually. It was about time I put my photography and cooking together since I don't use each skill enough separately. Haha! I'm at your blog now!
ReplyDeleteThese look so good! I might do banana chocolate chip.
ReplyDeleteHello S,
ReplyDeleteHappy to know you via FoodBuzz. Thanks for the add request. This way I met you and your inspiring blog.
Love the way of your photography. :) I'm sure you'll be showing us more n more great things by the days pass.
Cheers from Istanbul,

Strand Family: Thanks for dropping by. Do let me know how it goes if you try it out. Pictures!
ReplyDeleteBanu: Glad to have found you on FoodBuzz too. Do let me know when you update your English website!
ReplyDeleteOh Puffins? Yes please! I love the chocolate chips in them. And the maple syrup. And I love how colourful your pictures are. Congrats on the Foodbuzz Top9!!
ReplyDeleteAlina: Thanks for checking this out. Much appreciated. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for two great breakfast treats.

Kait: I'm glad you liked it. Will check out your blog soon. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi, I was wondering if you have tried this in the bigger muffin tin? I don't have the mini muffin tin and I'm worried about the cooking time! But I really, really want to try these...They look SOOOO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteI made them in the large muffin tin. They turned out wonderfully!!! SO GOOD!!!! They only lasted 15 minutes though, so it is a good thing that they are so incredibly easy to make. :D
ReplyDeleteStephanie: I was away from home and hadn't checked for comments so my apologies for the super delayed response. My sister had tried them out in the large muffin tin previously and said they turned out well but I'm glad you were gutsy enough to go ahead and try them without waiting for an answer! And yes, they don't last once they come out of the oven, but they're definitely better than flipping one by one and having none to eat when you're done flipping. Haha! I'm glad you had a good time with these. :D
ReplyDeleteWe all love Bakerella!! Great blog! And a tip so that your chocolate chips won't sink in: try rolling them in flour or cocoa powder before adding them.
ReplyDeleteChefUnderConstruction: Thanks for the tip! Super of you to share. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! And gorgeous photos...
ReplyDeleteIris: Not my idea but a great one, definitely. I give my thanks to Bakerella for inspiring me. Thanks for dropping by. :)
ReplyDeleteI give you a hint: sprinkle the choc chips on top after a few minutes baking time, then they will stay on top :-). Great recipe, thanks! My kids love it.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh these look scrummmy! and the photos are wonderful, Im going to try this for a Saturday morning breakfast :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous idea ...a nd muffins! YUM!!
ReplyDeleteSaw these via Gojee, hopped up off the couch moments later. Doubled the recipe and made them in full size muffin pans. Baked at 180C/350F for 16-18 minutes. I rubbed the tops with butter when they came out of the oven. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteCooking Tip: If you roll the chocolate chips in flour, they won't sink.
ReplyDeleteAlso works with raisins, nuts, etc.
someone just has to come up with a blueberry version of these...
ReplyDeleteand maybe a raspberry version too.
or both.
or a chocolate-chip-raspberry-blueberry-pancake-muffin. (?)
it would really cheer someone up to have these as a birthday breakfast dish. (dessert+breakfast is always a good idea)
Made these this afternoon, also made them in full size muffin cases and doubled the cooking time..... very nice a hit with my daughter, now included in my favourites, thankyou
ReplyDeletelooks yummy, i have to try these very soon...
ReplyDeleteregarding you chocolate chip sinking to the bottom, try to coat them with a little flour before mixing them in the batter:)
I'm thinking about trying these & maybe adding some sausage bits. Has anyone tried that?
