Chocolate Chip Pancake Bites

I am NOT a morning person. I’m not used to eating breakfast which is a bad thing being diabetic. My morning starts with me wondering downstairs with my brain not quite in gear yet. I’m sure you know the feeling. I need food that doesn’t take a lot of thought to make and can be made quickly. Pancake bites are great for a non-thinking breakfast. Take them out of the freezer, pop them in the oven, add some fruit/protein and call it breakfast.

I’ve been working on getting some recipes together that I can make and freeze for breakfast. This recipe is versatile to where I can add different flavors. I can add strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, peaches and any other fruit or berry flavor you can think of. Today’s recipe includes chocolate chips. The recipe makes 12 pancake bites. Once made I can store them in a freezer bag in the freezer. When I wonder downstairs I just have to pop a few in the oven to warm them up for breakfast. Quick, simple and easy.

Let’s make pancake bites

Ingredients

1 Cup Bobs 7 grain Pancake and Waffle mix
3/4 Cup Milk
1 TBS Oil
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
5 ozs Chocolate Chips *Optional Flavors (strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, peach)
1 Md Egg

In a large bowl mix pancake mix, milk, oil, vanilla extract, and egg.

Mix until lumps are gone and the batter is smooth. Do not over mix.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Grease cupcake tin. I used a light coat of spray coconut oil.

I bought my cupcake tins from the Dollar Tree. They are made out of steel not aluminum.

*In this picture I used cupcake wrappers but they really didn’t work out for me. I couldn’t get the pancakes off the wrapper once they were cooled. My next set of pancake bites I made I greased the tin and it worked much better.

Spoon batter into cupcake tin. I filled mine 1/3 to 1/2 of the cup. I had to remember that they are bites, not muffins. lol

Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool.

After cooling I put them in a freezer bag and store them in the freezer. Now when I get up in the morning I can pop a few bites in the oven to warm them up and not have to try and figure out something to eat.
