These darling Pancake Bites are not only deliciously light and fluffy, but they’re fully customizable! While you’re making a batch of these for your family this weekend, you can include some of our favourite toppings: sprinkles, chocolate chips, raspberries, or banana chunks.
Prep Time: 7 minutes
Cook Time: 10 – 12 minutes
Yield: 44 pieces
Ingredients
- 188 g / 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 67 g / 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 7 g / 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 g / 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 g / 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 g / 1/4 tsp salt
- 240 ml / 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 43 g / 3 tbsp Mirage margarine, melted and slightly cooled
- 10 ml / 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Suggested Toppings
- sprinkles
- chocolate chips
- raspberries
- banana chunks
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease two mini muffin tins and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted Mirage margarine and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the dry ingredients are just moistened. There should be a few lumps scattered throughout the batter. Do not over mix or the pancakes will become tough.
5. Using a spoon, fill each mini muffin well two thirds full with the mixture. Sprinkle each well with your choice of toppings: coloured sprinkles, chocolate chips, berries, and/or fruit. Place the filled tins into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bites have a rounded top and are lightly golden in colour.
Chef Notes
- If buttermilk is unavailable, stir in a tablespoon (15 millilitres) of lemon juice or white vinegar into 1 cup (240 millilitres) of milk. Let stand for 5 minutes, and use as directed in the recipe.
- When using fruits or berries as toppings for your pancake bites, make sure that they are sliced small enough to into the tin.
