Mini Pancakes, also known as Silver Dollar Pancakes, are the perfect bite sized pancakes that kids just LOVE! Easy to adapt with your favourite pancake add-ins, we used blueberries because they add such a burst of colour and flavour. Light and fluffy pancakes in tiny form. What's not to love?!

Anything tiny and bite sized just tastes better, right? Also, because they are such small pancakes, it means you can eat more of them. I am pretty sure that's how it works. We can't get enough of these mini chocolate chip blueberry pancakes and it's the most asked for Sunday breakfast in our house.

Extras to add

Use this mini pancake recipe as a base, and then feel free to switch and swap your favourite add-ins. We added blueberries and dark chocolate chips, however any kind of berries like raspberries, strawberries and blackberries work well. Sautéed apples with some cinnamon is a good combo too.

You could swap the dark chocolate chips for milk or white. Or add a little swirl of Nutella or peanut butter into them.

As these small pancakes are bite-sized, you don't want to add anything too big. So make sure anything added is chopped up small.

What to serve them with

Why stop at just the pancakes? We serve them with a big dollop of Greek yogurt on top, some extra blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup. If serving them up to kids, put the yogurt on the side and let them dip it in. This is great for younger kids to practice their dipping skills.

If you want to make these pancakes a little more indulgent, serve them up as a dessert with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

FAQs

How do I store pancakes?

Wait for the pancakes to cook completely and then put them in an air tight container with a piece of baking paper in between each one. You can then keep them in the fridge or freezer.
They will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days, however if you put them in the freezer they will keep for up to 2 months.

How to make mini pancakes without egg.

There are plenty of egg alternatives to make egg-free pancakes. You could use applesauce, mashed banana or any shop bought egg replacement.

Extra tips

When it comes to add-ins, make sure they are chopped small as these are mini pancakes.
If you are going to store leftovers, make sure that they are totally cooled before putting them in a container. Stacking them when they are still hot will make them stick together and make it harder to separate them later on.
