Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray or line it with mini muffin liners.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—some lumps are okay!
Add the mix-ins: If you’re using any mix-ins like chocolate chips or fruit, gently fold them into the batter.
Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffin tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Let the pancake mini muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping!
