How to Make Mini Pancake Cereal
Prepare Your Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Combine both mixtures gently until just mixed.
Heat Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray to achieve that golden-brown perfection on each pancake.
Pour & Cook Mini Pancakes: Using a teaspoon or piping bag, pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on top; flip carefully with a spatula.
Create Your Cereal Bowl: Once all mini pancakes are cooked and golden brown, stack them in a bowl or serve them straight from the skillet for maximum fluffiness!
Add Toppings & Serve: Drizzle maple syrup generously over your mini pancake cereal. Add fresh fruit like berries or banana slices to enhance flavor and texture.
Now you’re ready to enjoy every bite of this delightful breakfast treat! Just remember: it’s perfectly acceptable to eat them any time of day… because who really needs an excuse for pancakes?
