Pancake Bites

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar optional
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup blueberries fresh or frozen

Glaze

  • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 –3 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan with butter or nonstick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • Add the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
  • Stir gently until a smooth batter forms and no large lumps remain.
  • Fill each mini muffin cup about three-quarters full.
  • Place approximately 3 blueberries into each cup, gently pressing them slightly into the batter.
  • Bake for 12–14 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bites to cool for 5 minutes.

Prepare the Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth.
  • Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm pancake bites.
  • Serve immediately or allow to cool completely before storing.

Notes

  • Lemon zest enhances the blueberry flavor beautifully.
  • Frozen blueberries do not need to be thawed.
  • Mini pancake bites are excellent for school lunches.
  • The glaze can be omitted for a less sweet option.
