These fluffy mini pancakes are the perfect bite-sized treat for breakfast or brunch!

Whether you’re making them for kids, guests, or just treating yourself, these tiny pancakes are irresistibly soft and easy to whip up in no time!


Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (sifted)

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1 ¼ cups milk (whole or non-dairy alternative)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons butter (melted)

1 teaspoon vegetable oil (for cooking)

Optional Toppings:

Maple syrup

Honey

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Powdered sugar

Whipped cream

Nutella


Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.

Prepare Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine the Batter:

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture while stirring gently. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix! A few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Heat the Pan:

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil.

Cook the Mini Pancakes:

Use a tablespoon to drop small amounts of batter onto the skillet, forming mini circles.

Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until small bubbles appear on the surface.

Flip carefully and cook for another 1 minute, or until golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy:

Stack the mini pancakes on a plate and top them with your favorite toppings.

 

Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.

No baking soda? Increase baking powder to 2 ½ teaspoons.

Want dairy-free? Substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.

Make it fun! Add mini chocolate chips or cinnamon to the batter for a twist.
