Day 1 of my 12 days of Pinterest quest. Today I decided to try something for the kids. They're called "puffins", or pancake muffins. You take regular pancake batter and add what ever mix-in you'd like (chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberries, cinnamon, etc...) and then pour in a mini muffin tin and bake. These looked delicious and super easy to make - a lot easier than standing at the stove over a griddle cooking 3 pancakes at a time. Brady loves both mini pancakes and mini muffins and since the demise of hostess, we have been missing those mini blueberry muffins.
To go to the link where this recipe was "pinned" from, click on puffins above.
I used basic boxed pancake mix, followed the directions on the box and added green food coloring (to make them festive puffins) and milk chocolate chips. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
You could certainly use any fill-ins you like - apples and cinnamon, blueberries and strawberries, etc...I even saw a post where someone put sausage (broke into mini pieces) in the bottom of the muffin tin and then poured the batter over top, baked and then dipped in maple syrup. The possibilities are endless.
