Mini Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins
This is a guest post by Kirbie's Cravings.
I’ve been a little obsessed with making breakfast items lately. While browsing food blogs this weekend, I came across a recipe for maple pancake muffins from Bakerella. Pancakes in a mini muffin form? Ingenious and adorable!
I knew I would love these. And it gave me a reason to use my mini muffin pan again. Plus it’s even easier to make than traditional pancakes because you don’t have to sit over a griddle flipping them. You just pop them into the oven and let them bake up into cute little muffins.
I originally wanted to use my favorite buttermilk pancake recipe but I was out of buttermilk and lemon. I did, however, have a big box of Bisquick sitting on the counter. So I whipped up some Bisquick pancake batter, and added some mini chocolate chips so that the pancakes wouldn’t come out so plain. They baked up quite nicely. And while they may resemble mini chocolate chip muffins, they definitely taste like pancakes rather than muffins.
I didn’t add any syrup to the pancakes before baking. I think it’s better to dip them in some syrup last time. Truth be told, I think the chocolate chips make it sweet enough that you don’t need syrup. But I’m weird like that.
I may have to start making all my pancakes this way.
Ingredients
1 cup of bisquick
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Directions
1. Grease a mini muffin pan with pam spray. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a large glass bowl, mix bisquick, egg and milk with a large spoon. Batter should still have some lumps remaining.
3. Pour batter into muffin molds, about 2/3 full. Scatter a few mini chocolate chips on top of each filled muffin mold.
4. Bake for 10-15 minutes until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Pancake tops will remain pale.
Do you like pancakes? What is your favorite type?

I'm loving these recipes for mini muffin pans! I can't really find recipes for my pans so it's great that someone else is getting recipes :D
Thanks! This looks so yummy!
ooOoo these are so cute. i'm not a big pancake eater, so i don't really have a favourite.
I like simple fluffy buttermilk pancakes, but only if they are tender. I hate hard or tough pancakes. I just like them with a little maple syrup, or berries and whipped cream. Yep. Not healthy at all. These pancake muffins look, I bet the buttermilk pancake recipe from Better Homes and Gardens would work just perfect.
@Cestovatelka@xanga - You can bake just about any cake batter in the mini muffin tins, you just need to remember to not fill more than 2/3 full and reduce the baking time drastically. Most of the cake recipes I've tried only take about 8 to 10 minutes when baked in mini muffin tin.
Adorable and delicious, no doubt! Love pancakes. =)
Sooooooo cute and delicious.
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us. I love mini muffins.
My sweet tooth thanks you!
@babybug329@xanga - Thanks for the advice! I think I know what I'm doing next week once I buy some cake mixes :D
@Cestovatelka@xanga - You're welcome. Good luck!
