There’s another very important soccer game today (the last one of the season!) and I’m running around like crazy trying to finish some stuff before we head out right after lunch. We’ll be preparing tortilla to eat during half time (it’s a tradition here) and I’ll probably bake something if I have the time, too. These pancake muffins would have been perfect if there were any leftover from the weekend – not excessively sweet and extremely portable. They are definitely perfect for breakfast if you’re in a hurry.
Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins
Adapted from Bakerella
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder (optional)
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons honey (the original recipe called for maple syrup but I didn’t have any)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- Grease 24 cup mini muffin pan with a bit of butter.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar and espresso powder if you’re using it.
- In another bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, honey and melted butter.
- Add the buttermilk mix to the flour mix, stir until just combined, and mix in the chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter into the mini muffin pan and bake for 8-9 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch.
I love everything about these! They would be perfect for me to bring to work. Maybe I’ll make them sometime this weekend (although I should probably wait until after swim-suit season since I’ll probably eat them all!).
They’re definitely perfect for work!
I love a good muffin! Will definitely be adding this to my recipes to try one of these weeks. I usually make banana bread or a batch of muffins to take to work for the week. I love switching it up with new recipes so this is perfect!
It’s not your typical muffin (the dough is completely different) but they do make a great snack!
Pancake and muffin are two of my favorite food words.
Haha, then this is perfect for ya!
Sounds delicious – You always take the best food pictures!
Thanks Crystal! You’re too kind.
