Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped into small pieces
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or line it with paper liners.
- Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
- Gently fold in the chopped bacon pieces until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Fill the Muffin Cups:
- Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup in the prepared pan with pancake batter, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake the Pancake Bites:
- Transfer the muffin pan to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pancake bites are golden brown and cooked through. They should spring back when lightly pressed.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the Maple Bacon Pancake Bites to cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve with Maple Syrup:
- Serve the pancake bites warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup if desired, for an extra burst of sweetness.
