Super easy to grab and go on busy mornings (or lazy Sundays), blueberry pancake bites have all the delicious tastes you know and love from a pancake, all wrapped into a tiny muffin bite.
While fresh blueberries are the best choice, try other mix-ins like chocolate chips or toppings like chopped nuts.
What pan should I use for mini muffin bites?
Use a 24-cup mini muffin tin to make mini muffin bites.
Here are two pans we recommend if you do not have one. Keeping a mini muffin tin on hand helps for recipes like muffin bites, cornbread bites, and even smaller portions of recipes like egg or pizza bites.
Mini Pancake Bite Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- Pancake mix and ingredients to make batter
- Fresh blueberries, washed
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Maple syrup (for serving)
What pancake mix do we recommend?
We used the Jiffy baking mix to make the pancakes. Please note that Jiffy makes a lot of different mixes.
- We used a 2-cup mix with two eggs, 1-1/4 cup milk, and two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- You can use any traditional pancake batter you prefer for these bites and follow the instructions on the box.
How to make Blueberry Pancake Bites Recipe
Instructions:
Preheat the oven.
- Set your oven to 400°F (205°C).
- Take your mini muffin pan and spray it evenly with nonstick spray.
- Put it aside for now.
Prepare the batter: Follow the instructions on your pancake mix to create the batter. Make sure it’s smooth and free of lumps for the best results.
Fill the Muffin Tins: Using a scoop or a tablespoon, fill each mini muffin cup with one tablespoon of the pancake batter.
Add the Blueberries: Place 3–4 fresh blueberries into the center of the batter in each muffin cup.
Top it off: Cover the blueberries with another tablespoon of pancake batter, ensuring the blueberries are nicely tucked in the middle.
Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven for 13–15 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when you insert a toothpick into the center of a pancake bite, and it comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the pan from the oven. Let the pancake bites cool for a few minutes.
Serve them warm, and if you like, drizzle them with some maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar for that extra sweetness.

Pancake Bites (With Fresh Blueberries)
Equipment
- Mini Muffin Tins 24 spaces in each pan
- 1 tablespoon portion scoop
- toothpick to test for doneness
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pancake Mix and the ingredients needed to make the batter; typically eggs, milk, and vegetable oil
- nonstick cooking spray
- Fresh Blueberries
- maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Use the nonstick cooking spray to grease your mini muffin pan. This will help prevent sticking and ensure your pancake bites come out easily.
- Prepare the pancake batter according to the package instructions. If you're using a typical mix like Jiffy baking mix, you'll usually need to combine the mix with eggs, milk, and vegetable oil. The common ratio is 2 cups of mix, 2 eggs, 1-1/4 cups of milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Fill the muffin tins. Using a 1 tablespoon portion scoop, add a scoop of pancake batter into each muffin tin. This is your base layer.
- Add the blueberries. Place 3-4 washed fresh blueberries on top of the batter in each tin.
- Top it off. Add another tablespoon of pancake batter over the blueberries in each tin, covering them. This creates a little pancake "sandwich" with blueberries in the middle.
- Bake your pancake bites. Place the mini muffin pan in the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes. You'll know they're done when you can insert a toothpick into the center of a bite and it comes out clean.
- Cool and serve. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the pancake bites stand for a few minutes to cool down. Then, serve them hot with a side of maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
