Pancake muffins are the petite and portable answer for breakfast on busy weekday mornings. Unlike regular pancakes, no syrup or silverware is required, so you can eat them in the car or hand them to your kids as they head out to the bus stop. These handheld treats will be the fuel that gets your family through dreary winter mornings.

Best of all, pancake muffins are customizable and forgiving. Whether you want an option that is savory or sweet or protein-forward, you can make these pancake muffins to suit your dietary needs.

To make pancake muffins, you need flour, sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder, salt, milk and vanilla. This will create the base for your muffins, but from there, you can decide what kind of pancake you want it to taste like by incorporating a few “toppings.” You can opt for berries, cooked bacon, chocolate chips or sprinkles, for example.
