Mornings really can be a complete nightmare in my house!! Three kids running out the door, the dog going crazy, and me trying to get work going equals complete and total chaos in the house. Pancakes are a favorite in my house, so being able to make up Pancake Muffins is perfect for the kids!!

How To Make Homemade Pancake Muffins:
If you don’t have Buttermilk you mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of vinegar. Allow the mixture to set, and then give it a slight stir. You will need 2/3 cup of this for the pancake muffins.
Preheat your oven to 350F.
Wipe the silicone muffin pan with oil (either olive or vegetable oil), or use a nonstick spray if you prefer. I use oil as I don’t like the residue that nonstick spray leaves on pans.
You can also make these in a regular muffin pan with either nonstick or a muffin liner. The cooking time will vary slightly.
Mix all the wet ingredients except for the maple syrup.
Mix in dry ingredients with a whisk or handheld mixer. I tend to use a handheld mixer more as it is efficient and easy.
Add in the maple syrup and mix well.
The next step is to mix other ingredients or scoop the batter in.
You can then top them with topping or mix with a knife or spoon if adding toppings to the plain batter.
Bake for about 8-12 minutes till they are done. (do a toothpick or fork test to make sure they are baked through)
Let cool for about five minutes in the pan.
Pop-out of the pan with a hand or spoon and set them on a baking rack to cool further.
Serve and enjoy!
How To Store Pancake Muffins
Store in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container or Ziploc bag. You can freeze these for up to ninety days in the freezer.
Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.
What to Serve With Pancake Muffins
- Sausage Biscuits
- Square Pancakes
- Meatlovers Breakfast Casserole

Can you use regular milk? I know you gave recipe if you don’t have buttermilk, but I don’t use vinegar so I would have to buy some.
I would think it would still turn out okay. Did you try it out?
I use lemon juice and milk to make buttermilk. It works just as well.
Love this idea! Pinning so I can remember to make this !

Silicon is the way to go for baking! I’m a chemist so I am all about using silicon over metal for baked goods 😉 Yummy recipe too! Thanks for sharing this as well!
Those look great! I will have to make some for easy breakfasts for my daughter.
This is a really great idea! I needed some new ideas for breakfast this school year for my teens and these are a prefect breakfast, especially for my one who has braces and can’t hardly eat anything.
My daughter is in the same boat with braces!! The kids really love this recipe, we will be doing some with strawberries in them soon.
My husband and daughter love pancakes and I am always pressed for time in the morning. What a great idea I cannot wait to try these!
Mornings are so crazy with kids!! Let me know what you think if you try them!
I made these this morning and really loved them. I made this batch just plain, so that I could just try them. My next batch I will use blueberries, bacon, sausage or whatever else I can think of to try. Great alternative to regular ol’ pancakes. 🙂
really love these. I think I might try and make some with the kids this weekend
Sure beats standing over a griddle and making the pancakes individually.
I love silicone as well! I just bought muffin silicone liners and love them! I didn’t even have to grease them.
I’d love to freeze a batch of these!
Pancake muffins are total genius for crazy school mornings.
True story: I love pancakes but couldn’t make them to save my life… I’m going to try these! I love that there is no frying pan involved 🙂
Oh my gosh, I’m about to go get my morning cup of coffee and would love for you to deliver a dozen of these please!
Great idea! Portable pancakes
This is a great idea. Pinning.

That looks yummy!
