Mini pancakes, sometimes referred to as pancake muffins or pancake poppers, are so simple and easy to make. I have to say, they are incredibly delicious, especially if they are served up with some really good Canadian maple syrup. I Often make them up on weekends and serve them with some crunchy bacon. They make a great lunchbox recipe for the kids too.
There are a few alterations you can make to the recipe, if you wish. For example, I like peanut butter chips on the top, but you can use chocolate chips or even fruit such as chopped strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Be creative as you wish. Keep in mind these a small, so whatever you add over the top should be small or chopped.
If you find that the batter is too think, add a bit more milk. You want it thin enough so it flows gently off the whisk.
