Ingredients for the Pancake Muffins:

• Pancake mix (I used store-bought box mix or you can make a homemade batter).  Follow directions on the mix for making the batter.  
• Toppings (add in your favorites or what you have on hand) 
• Topping ideas: chocolate chips, strawberries, frozen wild blueberries, blackberries, spinach, cheese, bacon, turkey

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenhight
• Mix batter well (a perfect step for kids or toddlers to help)
• Pour into a well-greased or lined mini muffin tin about 3/4 full.  If you line with cups you may still want to spray with a non-stick grease as sometimes they stick.
• Add in toppings (or leave plain)
• Bake for 10-12 minutes

I put our toppings in little bowls so it was easy for my toddlers to pick what they wanted to put into the pancake muffins.

We used frozen wild blueberries, chocolate chips, blackberries and strawberries, and deli turkey and frozen chopped spinach in the muffins.

Pancake muffins are also good served with pure maple syrup, butter, or honey (make sure your child is over 1 year if giving honey).

These pancake muffins turned out so yummy!

They are a quick and easy make-ahead breakfast meal idea or you can put them in lunch boxes. 

My boys also ate these for snacks.

You could make a big batch and put them in the freezer and thaw in the microwave for about 30 seconds before eating.

We like making this quick breakfast and snack idea for a fun and easy food idea!
