Ingredients:
- 2 cups pancake mix
- 1 1/3 cups water (or maple syrup for extra sweetness)
- Your choice of toppings (e.g., blueberries, chocolate chips, sprinkles, brown sugar)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the batter.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of pancake mix with 1 1/3 cups of water (or maple syrup if using for a sweeter taste). Stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Prepare the Muffin Pan:
- Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Fill the Muffin Pan:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter into each muffin cup. The batter should fill each cup about halfway.
- Add Toppings:
- Sprinkle your chosen toppings onto the batter in each muffin cup. Options include blueberries, chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a light sprinkle of brown sugar. Feel free to get creative and mix and match toppings.
- Bake:
- Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the pancake muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve them warm.
- Optional Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy the pancake muffins plain, or drizzle with maple syrup or honey for added sweetness.
