Muffin Tin Pancakes
Recipe: Muffin Tin Pancakes
Muffin Tin Pancakes are a fun way to enjoy pancakes but in a muffin style. Easy to make and super convenient, you don’t have to worry about flipping and cooking pancakes one by one. Mix the batter, spoon it into a muffin tray or cups and bake in a preheated oven. It takes only 15 minutes and hot pancakes are ready.
Why Pancakes In A Muffin Pan Or Tray?
- For one, super easy to make a whole batch load.
- Time saver.
- Grab and Go Snack or Breakfast.
- Make a big batch and store them in the fridge. Warm them up in the microwave as you need them.
- They turn out fluffy and soft without adjusting the heat like you need to when making them on a griddle pan.
- Ideal for brunch or kids parties.
Sharing Muffin Tin Pancakes With Sunday Funday Group
Amy who blogs at Amy’s Cooking Adventure suggested we prepare Main Dish In A Muffin Tin. My initial plan was to make Mac & Cheese in a muffin tin. However, plans changed as I landed up with loads of strawberries and blueberries. I decided to make pancakes in a muffin tin so that I could use up the fruits. And to let you into a secret, I love pancakes. Can have them everyday. However, hubby loves his oatmeal for breakfast and pancakes become a brunch or lunch option. Yes lunch, you heard me right. It really doesn’t matter whether I have them for breakfast or lunch, as long as I am able to indulge in my favourite.

Some Main Dish In A Muffin Tin Recipes On My Blog
Ingredients Required For Muffin Tin Pancakes
Flour
Use all purpose flour, wheat flour, oat flour, basically and flour of your choice. I use a mixture of all purpose flour and oat flour or wheat flour.
Butter
I use salted butter. Need some melted butter for the batter and some room temperature butter for greasing the muffin tin.
Egg
I have used a large egg.
Buttermilk Or Milk
Whatever you have at hand, both works well.
Maple Syrup | Honey
Use either. Need some to add to the batter and some for drizzling over the muffin pancakes.
Baking Powder And Baking Soda
Both required as raising agents.
Salt
I like to add a bit of salt to the batter to balance out the flavours.
Flavours
Can use vanilla extract, zest of orange or lemon. Cinnamon, cardamom powder. Have you tried fennel seeds in your pancakes?
Add Ins
When adding fruits, chocolate chips, meat, etc don’t add too much as that will make the muffin pancakes dense. Stick to 2-3 pieces, or about a tablespoonful.
- Fruits of your choice, fresh, frozen or dried.
- Chocolate chips – dark, milk or white.
- Make them savoury by adding corn, spinach, bacon, sausages, cheese, mixed vegetables, etc.
- Nuts and seeds
