How to make the best pancakes
Pancakes are pretty easy to make, but there are a couple things you can do to make them even better. First, do not over mix! Pancake batter should be whisked just to combine the ingredients. There’s no need to use an electric mixer of any sort, you can mix pancakes just fine by hand.
Second, after your pancake batter is mixed, let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This helps activate the leavening ingredients and helps yield fluffy pancakes! For this recipe, you can pour the batter in the pan, then let it sit before baking them pancakes.
How can I prevent my muffins from sticking to the pan?
To help keep your muffins from sticking to the pan, I suggest doing one of two things. First, you can use mini muffin liners for this recipe. Seconds, you can spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray that includes flour. This spray is specifically for baked goods and works so well! I never have my baked muffins stick to the pan again!
How can I easily scoop out the batter for the muffins?
A medium cookie/ ice cream scoop with a lever works perfectly for measuring out mini sized muffins like these! The medium scoop measures about 1.5 tablespoons of batter in each cup.
What kinds of fruit can you put in pancakes?
You can add a variety of fruit to pancakes with fantastic results! Berries are always a good idea. I used a combination of blueberries, raspberries and diced strawberries in my berry protein pancake bites, but you’re welcome to stick with just one or two. I also think these would be delicious with small bits of banana or raisins in them.

Could you use coconut milk instead of regular milk?
Nellie says
I haven’t tried that, but I think it would work fine!
Emma says
Can you put these in the freezer?
Nellie says
Yep, these freeze great! Just keep them in an airtight container or Ziplock bag and grab them out as you need them!
Ishaira says
Hello, are they need to be eat the same day? Or they can be frozen and be good for a couple days?
Thanks before hand ❤
Jessica says
they for sure can be frozen!
Larissa says
My family is going camping at the end up June and we have 4 kids. These seem perfect for an easy breakfast or snack! Everyone knows how kids are when they are hangry 😅 Do you think they’d hold up okay in a cooler inside a container?
Nellie says
Absolutely! They should last several days in an airtight container. Have fun camping!
Ruth says
Can you use frozen blueberries and strawberries in the recipe? Or would it make is soggy?
Jessica says
I’d rinse, drain & pat dry before using them.
Maddie Z. says
The recipe is supper easy! I tried them but the pancake batter is a little too plain for my taste so I added cinnamon to the batter 👍
Jade says
Would this work with regular batter? Maybe with a scoop of protein powder? I’m just trying to work with what I have.
Nicole says
I’m not sure because I haven’t tried it but you could give it a go and let me know. 🙂
Christine says
Do you need to defrost them or just pop them in the toaster/ microwave?
Nicole says
You should be able to microwave them from frozen. the time needed to warm them will vary based on your microwave’s strength and the amount of pancake bites you place on the plate at once as more will take longer to cook than just one or two at a time.
