Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Prepare your 12 hole muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside. 
  • In a large sized bowl combine eggs, flour, milk, salt and vanilla. Blend until totally smooth. Add butter a little at a time until incorporated. Make sure there are no lumps.
  • Pour patter into each muffin hole until each is about ½ way full.  Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden and puffed up.
  • Fill each mini German pancake with jam, fresh fruit, syrup, chocolate chips and bananas or anything else you can think of. We also have a list of pancake topping ideas for you to investigate, if desired. And, if you need some inspiration, check out this what to serve with pancakes post!

Notes

 

  • Grease well: Make sure you grease your non-stick muffin pans well. Use butter or cooking spray to ensure that the muffin batter doesn’t stick to the sides, and comes off easily.
  • Choose sweet: Since we’re not using any sugar here to sweeten the actual pancake mix, you’ll want to choose toppings and mix-ins that have a bit of sweetness to them.
  • Use a blender: To make things quicker, you can also choose to make the pancake mixture in a blender. Remember to avoid overmixing the batter though. 
  • Top right: Make sure you wait for a few minutes and allow the muffins to deflate and cool down before you top them with the toppings of your choice. They should ideally be hot, but not warm when you’re adding the toppings.
