Description

These Blueberry Pancake Bites are a delightful twist on traditional pancakes, offering bite-sized, fluffy treats bursting with fresh blueberries. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack, they are baked in a donut hole pan to achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior while remaining soft and tender inside. Easily customizable with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or powdered sugar, these pancake bites are simple to prepare and serve.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Add-ins

  • 40 blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut hole pan thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar to evenly distribute the leavening and sweetness.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the beaten egg, vanilla extract, milk, and melted unsalted butter until smooth and thoroughly combined.
  4. Make Batter: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, to keep the pancake bites tender.
  5. Fill and Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut hole cavities, filling each about two-thirds full. Carefully press two blueberries into each cavity, then place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes.
  6. Flip and Bake: After 12 minutes, carefully flip each pancake bite in the pan to ensure even browning, then return to the oven and bake an additional 3 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the pancake bites warm. Enhance them with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fruit preserves, glaze, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent bleeding into the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancake bites fluffy and tender.
  • The flipping step is essential for even browning on all sides.
  • You can substitute milk with any dairy-free alternative to suit dietary preferences.
  • Ensure the donut hole pan is well greased to avoid sticking and for easy removal.
