Chocolate Chip Bacon Pancake Bites
Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups Complete Pancake Mix (plus water needed to make pancakes)
- 1/2 lb bacon
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup pure maple or pancake syrup (plus more for serving)
Instructions
- Cook your bacon on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper in the oven at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Drain the grease really well, chop the bacon, and set aside.
- Mix pancake mix with water according to the directions on the box.
- Stir in cooked bacon, chocolate chips, and syrup.
- Pour into two mini silicone muffin pans. If using nonstick, be sure to grease the mini muffin pans well.
- This is optional but you can top the mini pancakes with a little bit of the bacon and chocolate chips before baking them.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 12-15 minutes.
- Once a toothpick comes out from the center of a pancake bites clean, it's time to eat! Dip in more syrup and enjoy! Let me know if you try it out!
Notes
- You can use any pancake mix you have or make it homemade. I suggest following the directions for mixing together the pancake mix for the brand that you buy. I really like Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix for this recipe.
- My pancake mix was a complete pancake mix which means I only needed to add water.
- Through testing this recipe I found that it is best to fill the muffin pan only about 3/4 of the way. The chocolate chip bacon pancake muffins will rise nice and fluffy as they bake.
- I used regular bacon for this recipe, but you could use turkey bacon or swap it for pork or chicken breakfast sausage. Maple flavored breakfast sausage would also be really good!
- Cook the bacon before mixing it into the batter and drain any extra grease well.
- Either pancake syrup or pure maple syrup can be used in this recipe.
- Silicone muffin pans are the best for mini pancake recipes, if using nonstick, be sure to grease your pans.
- This makes 48 mini pancake muffins.
