Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (for greasing the mini muffin tin)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with melted butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a pancake bite comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Optionally, drizzle with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy yogurt and non-dairy milk of your choice.
- These pancake bites are a great make-ahead option. You can freeze them for up to 1 month and reheat in the microwave or oven.
- For an added flavor twist, you can substitute the blueberries with other berries or chocolate chips.
