Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter, for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature for baking the pancake muffins.
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and butter for greasing the muffin tin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
- Grease a standard muffin tin with butter to prevent the pancake muffins from sticking. Ensure each muffin cup is well coated.
- Evenly distribute the pancake batter into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows space for the muffins to rise while baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pancake muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully remove the pancake muffins from the tin and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Serve the baked muffin tin pancakes warm, with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
Tips
- Preheat the Oven: Always preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) before you start mixing your ingredients. This ensures that your pancake muffins bake evenly and come out perfectly fluffy.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so it's okay to leave a few lumps in the batter.
- Grease Generously: Make sure to grease your muffin tin well with butter to prevent sticking. You can also use non-stick cooking spray for an easier cleanup.
- Fill Properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise while baking. This will help achieve that perfect dome shape.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your pancake muffins as they bake. They should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. If they need more time, check them in 2-minute increments.
- Serve Warm: For the best taste and texture, serve your pancake muffins warm. They can be topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or even a dollop of yogurt for a delicious breakfast treat.
- Make Ahead: These pancake muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for a quick breakfast option throughout the week. Just reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
