Mini Pancake Bites

When you’re in the mood for a sweet breakfast, what’s better than fluffy pancakes? I always make sheet pan pancakes or mini banana pancakes but lately, these mini pancake bites are my favorite go-to recipe. Made from only bananas, milk and flour, it’s quick, easy and healthy.

So, what are they? They’re basically little stuffed pancakes in muffin shape. You make the batter, add it to a muffin tin, add your favorite fun toppings and bake.

A word about the toppings… the sky is the limit! There’s so many different things you can add. We go wild for peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, sprinkles, etc. Each person adds their own favorite goodies to their mini muffin and everyone is happy.

If you want more pancakes, try spinach banana pancakes or these cookie cutter pancakes.
