Pancake muffins are an easy way to cook a batch of delicious pancakes, and keep them in the fridge for grab and go snacks. You can easily customize each one to create loads of different flavors.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray, melted butter or line with paper liners.
Add 2½ cups pancake mix, 2 eggs, ⅓ cup honey, ½ cup milk and ¼ cup vegetable oil to a large bowl. Mix everything together until just combined. Do not overmix. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Divide the pancake batter into each muffin pan about ¾ full. Use a toothpick or tip of knife to gently push in berries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts and seeds, etc. (see recipe tips below for details).
These muffins only need to be baked for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown. Serve the muffins while they’re still warm. This truly is when they taste the best!
