Pancake Muffin Bites

Pancake Muffin Bites

These Pancake Muffin Bites come together in 30 minutes and are so easy to make. Just pour the pancake batter into the muffin tin, add toppings and bake! 

Add your favorite toppings!

This recipe is dedicated to our kindergarten students and all the students out there. In our classroom we hold a cooking class every Friday. Since we’re dealing with this crazy quarantine, I recorded a tutorial for them to make at home.

The recipe can also be made using a store-bought pancake mix or making everything from scratch like it’s explained in the recipe. You will need essential pantry ingredients, or feel free to replace those that you don’t have on hand.

Here’s some ingredients that you can replace when baking:

  1. Eggs: Use 1/4 cup of applesauce, unsweetened
  2. Butter: Replace for oil
  3. Sugar: Use maple syrup or for a sugar free version stevia.

For the toppings you can use anything that you have available.

One Bowl Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

One Bowl Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

Are you crazy about quick and delicious recipes? This One bowl chocolate chip banana bread is a quick recipe that requires simple essential pantry ingredients. This bread only takes a few steps and it’s ready in less that an hour. Enjoy it warm with butter and a glass of your favorite milk.

Soft texture for the perfect treat

This is the perfect snack for eating at home, especially during this quarantine that we’re dealing with. There’s nothing better than chocolate desserts to make our day happier. Children love baking and this is the best time for that.

This recipe is also great for making muffins. The baking time will be 2- to 22 minutes or until muffins are cooked through. My favorite part of this recipe is that you can throw the ingredients in one bowl, mix with a whisker (spoon or fork), pour into your loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes. That’s all!!!

I added pecans to the batter, you can skip this step or add any nuts that you have available. Also you can remove the chocolate chips completely for a basic banana bread. For best results use over ripped bananas.
