Ingredients to Cook Mini Pancake Bites Banana and Chocolate Chips
Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes
Estimated Ingredient Costs: $10 – $12
1 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup buttermilk
1 large eggs
2 tablespoons, melted butter
1 ripe banana, mashed
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Butter or nonstick spray for greasing the mini muffin pan
Instructions to Cook Mini Pancake Bites Banana and Chocolate Chips
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with silicone cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the buttermilk, melted butter, and mashed banana.
Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed. Avoid over-stirring—lumpy is okay.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Spoon batter into the mini muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for a few minutes before popping them out of the pan. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips for Involving Kids in the Cooking Process
Let your child mash the banana—messy fun and hands-on.
Hand them a mini spoon to help drop batter into the muffin cups.
Ask them to count out the chocolate chips or sprinkle them on top of each bite.
