Ingredients Needed

  • All-Purpose Flour – The base for light and fluffy pancakes.
  • Baking Powder – Gives that signature rise.
  • Milk – Helps smooth the batter and adds richness.
  • Egg – Binds the ingredients and adds fluffiness.

  • Honey – A touch of sweetness without refined sugar.
  • Cooking Spray – For a golden, non-stick finish in the pan.

How To Make Easy Mini Pancakes

  • Start by whisking together flour and baking powder in a medium bowl. If you’re using unsalted butter, add your salt here.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, egg, and honey. Whisk until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Whisk until the pancake batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
  • Pour the pancake batter into a large Ziploc bag and seal it. Snip off a small corner of the bag.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Squeeze the batter into tiny rounds—about the size of a quarter.
  • Cook for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to dry. Flip and cook another minute until golden brown and cooked through.

Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t overmix the batter—mix until just combined to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  • Don’t have a gallon-sized Ziplock bag?  Use a squeeze bottle for neater circles and less mess.
  • Let the skillet heat up fully before adding the batter for a golden brown finish.
  • To freeze for later, place leftover pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, store in an airtight container or freezer bag.

Mini pancakes are the perfect size for little hands and fun enough to get your kids excited about breakfast. Whether you’re prepping for the week ahead or want something a little different, this recipe is the best way to bring a smile to your breakfast table.
