I don’t always have time to make breakfast in the mornings for my family so I look to quick, easy recipes that can be frozen if possible. These Mini Pancake Muffins are all of that and they taste delicious. Whether you eat them plain or add your favorite toppings to the muffin mix, they are a winner with everyone. For this batch of mini muffins I added cooked maple-flavored sausage to half and mini chocolate chips to the other half of the batter.

Baking pancake muffins is easier than flipping pancakes one by one, saving you time and effort. They can be enjoyed alone, added to any breakfast charcuterie board, or served alongside these scrambled egg and sausage breakfast taquitos.
