Mini Pancake Cereal is a playful and delightful breakfast recipe featuring tiny, bite-sized pancakes that blend the comforting flavors of classic pancakes with the fun of cereal.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large Egg
  • 3/4 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter or Oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or oil until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to maintain a light batter.
  2. Heat the Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. The pan is ready when a drop of batter sizzles immediately upon contact.
  3. Pipe or Spoon Tiny Pancakes: Using a piping bag, squeeze bottle, or small spoon, drop small dots of batter onto the hot pan about the size of a dime or smaller for cereal-sized pancakes.
  4. Cook Until Bubbly and Flip: Cook the mini pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  5. Cool Slightly and Serve: Transfer the mini pancakes to a plate to cool briefly. Serve them warm in a bowl with milk or drizzle with syrup for a fun and tasty breakfast.

Notes

  • Use a piping bag with a small tip or squeeze bottle to achieve consistent mini pancake sizes for even cooking.
  • A good non-stick pan will help flip the mini pancakes easily without breaking.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just until combined to keep pancakes tender and fluffy.
  • Cook a test mini pancake first to check pan temperature and adjust heat as needed.
  • Keep cooked mini pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
