Description
Delicious and fluffy mini blueberry pancakes, perfect for breakfast or a snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (plus more for greasing)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with melted butter or cooking spray.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This blend forms the light and fluffy base for the pancake bites.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well blended.
- Create the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix—some lumps are perfectly okay.
- Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries. If you’re using frozen ones, toss them in a bit of flour first to prevent sinking.
- Spoon into Muffin Tin: Fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full with batter. The bites will puff up beautifully in the oven.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm, or store for later.
Notes
- For extra flavor, replace blueberries with chocolate chips or nuts.
- These pancake bites can be frozen and reheated for a quick breakfast.
