Ingredients
For the Pancake Cups:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup diced strawberries
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (for a spiced flavor)
For Serving:
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
- Fresh fruit
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners for easy removal.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If you’re adding any optional ingredients like chocolate chips or fruit, fold them in at this stage.
Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the pancake batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This will allow room for the pancake cups to rise while baking.
Step 5: Bake
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the pancake cups are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the pancake cups cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the cups and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
Step 7: Enjoy!
Serve the pancake cups warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, and fresh fruit on top. Enjoy your delicious and portable pancake recipe cups!
