Notes
You’ll need a mini muffin tin. This recipe makes 24 mini pancakes from a mini muffin tin and has not been tested using a regular muffin tin.Use fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen berries, the bake time might need to be increased by a minute or so.Replace the buttermilk. Milk can be used in place of the buttermilk, if needed. Just make sure it’s whole milk. Your bake time might increase by a minute or two.Try orange flavor. Instead of lemon, try orange juice and zest for a different citrus flavor.Swap the berries for some protein. If you want to make these more hearty, you can leave out the berries and include a bit of cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon instead.
