Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
  • 1 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free version)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature for the best results)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (reduce for less sweetness or use a substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (consider almond extract for variation)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (to balance sweetness)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (melted to grease muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) with your muffin tin placed inside.
  2. Blend ingredients: In a blender, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare muffin tin: Carefully remove the hot muffin tin from the oven, and add ½ tablespoon of melted butter to each cup.
  4. Fill muffin cups: Fill each cup of the muffin tin about ¾ full with the pancake batter.
  5. Bake pancakes: Place the muffin tin back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancakes are puffed and golden brown.
  6. Serve: Once out of the oven, serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • Substitute almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Reduce sugar for less sweetness or use a sugar substitute.
  • Try almond extract instead of vanilla for variation.
  • Melted butter helps to grease the muffin tin and adds flavor.
