You only need a few simple ingredients to make them and they double as a great school lunch idea! Make food fun again! (GF, DF, egg free, nut free, soy free, FODMAP, vegan, vegetarian).

    "pancake bites? as in the mini version of regular pancakes which is already a mini version of a dutch baby. honestly, where does it end?"--adapted from kevin, the office

    Pancake bites are just what the quote says. Mini versions of regular pancakes. I bought a box for the kids at Sprouts and the kids fell in love with the concept. The only problem is they ate them at an alarmingly fast rate and wanted more. So the next time I bought four boxes and it didn't even last a week.

    I started making homemade ones and they loved them! I know you will love them too! And they are so simple to make and even funner to eat, no matter what your age! (You never age past 29!)

    pancake bite molds

    There are several pancake molds that I recommend using. I used these silicone cake pop molds. you can also use silicone egg molds or in a pinch a mini cupcake pan.

    dip or drizzle?

    Should you dip your pancake bites or drizzle syrup over your pancake bites? Either or is fine. We suggest dipping or drizzling your pancake bites in:

    • Maple syrup
    • Fruit syrups
    • Caramel
    • Chocolate (white or chocolate)
    • Nutella
    • Biscoff

    what type of flour?

    This recipe uses self rising flour. Self rising flour contains baking powder and salt. It makes for a nice, light and airy flour.

    I have several self rising flour recipes you can make from scratch. It's simple and easy!

    • Gluten free self rising flour
    • Keto self rising flour

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!
