Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, egg, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the mini muffins from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to enjoy their perfect texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean without wet batter.
- Greasing the muffin tin well helps prevent sticking and makes removal easier.
- These mini muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in fresh berries or chocolate chips before baking.
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
