Ingredients

2 cups flour, spooned and leveled 250g
3 tsp baking powder
3-4 Tbsp sugar 38-50g
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp of nutmeg
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted 42g
2 Tbsp maple syrup
2 large eggs
2 cups whole milk 480g
2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and nutmeg in a small bowl. Set aside.
Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, butter and maple syrup. Add in the dry ingredients and mix only until combined. Mixture will be smooth with some lumps, which is ok!
Spoon approx. 3 Tbsp batter into 24 well greased muffin cavities of a regular muffin tin, or use a silicone muffin pan and just spoon it right in. If you only have one muffin pan, work in batches.
Bake for about 13-16 minutes or until edges are a very light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes before popping them out. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store in the refrigerator in a sealed airtight container for about 5-6 days. To reheat, pop in the microwave and heat for about 30-45 seconds.

To freeze: Allow the bites to cool completely and then place in a freezer-safe container. You can thaw overnight in the fridge or heat from frozen. Wrap in a paper towel and microwave in 30 second intervals until warmed.

Try not to over bake these pancake bites for best results. It is better to slightly under bake them versus over baking as they will dry out and become tough.

Only mix the dry into the wet ingredients until combined to prevent the bites from becoming tough or overly chewy. Try not to over mix the batter for the best texture. If you mix too much, the bites will not have the same softness and fluffiness.
