This Pancake Muffins Recipe is one of my kid’s favorites! I love how easy this is to make and how perfect they are to rewarm for breakfast during the week. Perfect for making ahead of time for brunch or for kids to microwave for breakfast on a school day!

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!!

Pancake muffin Ingredients

  • Flour
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Butter Milk-If you don’t have Buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of vinegar. Allow the mixture to set, and then give it a small stir. You will need 2/3 cup for the pancake muffins.  
  • Egg
  • Maple syrup– I used Ms. Buttersworth, but, the original recipe calls for Pure Maple Syrup.
  • Butter
  • Pancake toppings.

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 air-tight container and 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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 🙂

    Sure beats standing over a griddle and making the pancakes individually.
