Description
These bite-sized pancakes emerge fluffy inside with golden, slightly crisp exteriors. Warm, cinnamon-kissed centers pair perfectly with maple syrup or fresh berries, turning breakfast into a playful, poppable treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 340°F (170°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together pancake mix, milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
- Lightly brush or spray the air fryer’s silicone or metal bite pan with vegetable oil.
- Spoon batter into each cavity, filling about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
- Place the tray in the air fryer basket and cook for 4–6 minutes, or until the tops are set and edges are golden.
- Carefully remove the tray and let the pancake bites cool for 1–2 minutes.
- Use a small spatula or toothpick to loosen and remove each bite.
- Serve warm with syrup, fruit, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Ensure the batter is thick but pourable to maintain bite shape.
- Preheating the air fryer helps achieve even cooking and golden edges.
- Allow the pancake bites to rest briefly before removing to prevent breakage.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
