Have you seen the mini pancake cereal all over TikTok and Instagram lately? It is basically mini pancakes in a bowl, but so cute and the kids love them! It’s really easy to make. You can use any pancake mix or any pancake recipe you normally do.
ZIPLOCK BAG OR SQUEEZE BOTTLE
In order to create the mini pancakes, you will need to add the batter into a squeeze bottle to be able to get the small shape of the pancakes. If you do not have a squeeze bottle to place your pancake batter in, I would recommend using a ziplock bag! Add the batter to a small ziplock bag. Cut the tip at the corner, but make sure the slit is very small so you have better control when you squeeze out the batter.
WHEN TO FLIP PANCAKES
Cook the pancakes on lower heat after initially heating up the pan. You will want to wait until the pancake batter has risen and forms little bubbles. You will see the edges crisp up. At this point, you can flip the mini pancakes. Use two spatulas and you can flip them all at once versus one by one.
PREFERRED PAN SIZE
Use a large griddle or a large pan for ease. The more space you have to create the mini pancakes, the quicker it will be to cook them. I used a smaller pan initially, which took me a long time to get through the whole batter. It’s definitely worth the effort if you have a large pan to make mini pancake cereal.
PANCAKE TOPPINGS
Do you dare add milk to your pancake cereal? Personally, not for me, but I have seen people eat it like cereal! My personal preference, add a strawberry or blueberry compote on top. The compote recipe is the same one I use to make my strawberry matcha latte. You can add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it if needed.
Add fresh fruits, bananas, strawberries, a side of granola. Make them chocolate m&m pancakes! There are endless toppings you can add or keep it simple with maple syrup and a little butter!
