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.

Tayler Ross says
I made these for brunch over the weekend, and they were a huge hit with everyone! Thanks for the recipe!
April says
This is one of my favorite ways to make pancakes! They’re great for on the go and my kids LOVE them! I also love the added protein, so I feel a little better about my kids eating them. 🙂
Jessica Johnson says
What can i use besides the pancake mix like flour etc?
Dawn says
I am so glad I found these! This will be perfect for my daughter who is in sports and needs something between school and practice. It is hard to keep things cold that long in her bag and her friend she is in sports with is allergic to nuts so it makes us limited. This is something she will love too 🙂
Alison says
Dawn, this is the perfect fit then! So glad they will work out so nicely for your daughter!
Sue McClelland says
Can I use half pancake mix and half protein powder?
Jessica says
I’m not sure! There are so many different kinds of protein powder, I imagine they cook a bit differently. Try it and let me know how it turns out!
Jacquelyn Hastert says
I have this recipe saved for Saturday morning when I don’t have much time. The would be perfect to send the kids packing out the door with food in their hands.
Shiho says
How cute they look 😀 Great weekends breakfast recipe! Thank you
Suzanne says
I have never thought to put pancake mix into muffin sheets! So creative and looks really yummy!
Alison says
Thanks Suzanne! We love them around here!
Natalie says
Is there any way to freeze them and microwave for mornjngs before school?
Jessica says
Absolutely! Just freeze them in a ziplock bag or airtight container and microwave 4 for 45 seconds!
Hilary says
Would this work with frozen berries?
Jessica says
Yes, it works great with frozen berries!
Jessica says
These were fantastic for a quick weekday breakfast. My picky kids loved them as I was able to easily customize for tastes. I used Kodiak Cakes whole grain pancake mix to give some added protein. Yummy!
Barby says
I thought these were so fast and easy to make. Great taste. I will for sure bake them straight in the pan next time instead of paper muffin liners. Too much stuck to paper. Yummy!!
Alison says
Glad you liked these Barby! We definitely get good results baking them straight in the pan 🙂
Brittany says
How are you supposed to store these? Looks yummy!
Jessica says
I store them in a tupperware in the fridge!
Autumn says
Just made these for dessert but I used chocolate chips instead of fruit. They are so cute and taste great. Thank you for the recipe.
Jessica says
Chocolate chips are always a good idea!!
Sharon says
Question. Amateur baker here. Dont have a muffin tray but reg baking pans. Which size pan would be ideal? Help?
Jessica says
You can bake it in a 9×13 pan, just add 10 minutes to the bake time and test for doneness, adding time as necessary.
Suzanne says
This looks so good! What a great grab and go breakfast for kids!
Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long?
Brittany Lightbourne says
Would a regular muffin tin have a different cooking time?
Jessica says
Yes, regular muffins would need to bake about 5-7 minutes longer.
Melissa Geiwitz says
Has anyone added a little oil?
