Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 1 cup (120g)
  • Baking powder – 1 ½ tsp
  • Granulated sugar – 2 tbsp
  • Salt – ¼ tsp
  • Milk – ¾ cup (180ml), whole or dairy-free alternative
  • Large egg – 1, room temperature
  • Unsalted butter – 2 tbsp, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • Vanilla extract – 1 tsp (optional)
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) – 1 to 1 ½ cups total
  • Sliced bananas – 1 medium banana
  • Honey-roasted nuts (pecans or almonds) – ½ cup
  • Greek yogurt or cream cheese – ½ cup
  • Maple syrup – for drizzling
  • Mini chocolate chips or chocolate chunks – 2 tbsp (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves – a few sprigs

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp sugar, and ¼ tsp salt. (5 minutes)
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk ¾ cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. (3 minutes)
  3. Make the batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined. Let rest for 5 minutes. (7 minutes)
  4. Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Test readiness by sprinkling water drops; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly. (3 minutes)
  5. Cook mini pancakes: Pour small rounds (about 1 ½ inches diameter) onto skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden. Keep warm in a low oven at 200°F (90°C). (15-20 minutes)
  6. Prepare the board: Slice strawberries and bananas, rinse berries, arrange nuts and dollops of yogurt or cream cheese in small bowls. (10 minutes)
  7. Assemble: Arrange mini pancakes on serving board, intersperse fruits, nuts, yogurt, chocolate chunks, and garnish with mint leaves. Add maple syrup in a bowl or drizzle before serving. (10 minutes)

Notes

Use King Arthur flour for tender texture or gluten-free baking mix for gluten-free option. For dairy-free, use plant-based milk and butter. Resting batter improves fluffiness. Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking. Keep syrup on the side to prevent soggy pancakes. Mini muffin tin baking is an alternative method.
