HOW TO MAKE MINI PANCAKES LIKE A PRO

Making mini pancakes is EASY PEASY. Here’s how my sister-in-law makes them for her kids, and they always turn out chef’s kiss.

MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS

In a large bowl, baking soda ,combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk it all together.

MIX THE WET INGREDIENTS

In another bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

COMBINE AND MIX

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are totally fine.

HEAT YOUR PAN

Grab a non-stick skillet or griddle and heat it over medium-low. Add a little butter (because EVERYTHING is better with butter).

PIPE OR SPOON THE BATTER

Here’s the trick for MINI PANCAKES: Use a squeeze bottle, piping bag, or a small spoon to pour tiny circles of batter onto the hot pan. Each one should be about the size of a quarter.

FLIP AND FINISH

Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until you’re out of batter.

TOPPING IDEAS TO MAKE THEM EXTRA SPECIAL

• SWEET CLASSIC: Maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh strawberries.
• CHOCOLATE LOVER: Nutella drizzle, mini chocolate chips, and a dollop of whipped cream.
• TROPICAL VIBES: Pineapple chunks, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of honey.
• SAVORY TWIST: Add shredded cheese, crispy bacon, and a fried egg on top.

KEY TIPS FOR PERFECT MINI PANCAKES

• KEEP IT SMALL: Don’t go bigger than a quarter, or they won’t feel “mini.”
• USE A SQUEEZE BOTTLE: It makes portioning so much easier.
• DON’T CROWD THE PAN: Leave space so you can flip them easily.
• LOW HEAT IS KEY: Mini pancakes cook quickly, so keep the heat low to avoid burning.

MINI PANCAKES FOR ON-THE-GO SNACKING

Raise your hand if your mornings are CHAOS. Same here! That’s why I love making mini pancakes in advance and turning them into a GRAB-AND-GO snack. Once they’re cooked, I stick them in a container in the fridge, and they’re ready whenever someone needs a quick bite.

You can dip them in something yummy like peanut butter, Nutella, or even yogurt. My husband loves taking a little container of these to work with some maple syrup for dipping. It’s like breakfast, but portable. And don’t even get me started on how much the kids love these for school snacks.

MAKING MINI PANCAKES FOR HOLIDAYS

Mini pancakes are PERFECT for holiday mornings. They’re quick, easy, and you can make them FESTIVE with just a few tweaks:

• For Christmas: You may add red and green sprinkles or use cookie cutters to shape them into stars or trees.
• For Easter: Top with pastel-colored candy or serve with a fruit salad shaped like a bunny face.
• For Halloween: Mix orange food coloring into the batter and decorate with chocolate chips to look like jack-o’-lanterns.

One of my favorite holiday traditions is making a giant pancake platter and letting everyone pick their toppings. It’s cozy, delicious, and way less stressful than cooking a big breakfast for everyone.
