Air fryer pancake bites are quick, easy, and endlessly customizable. This recipe uses a basic pancake mix plus your choice of mix-ins, cooked in a silicone mini muffin mold. We've included everything you need: ingredients, instructions, and timing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix (Bisquick, Kodiak Cakes, or any store-bought mix)
- Milk, egg, and oil per the package directions for 1 cup of mix
- Optional mix-ins: blueberries, mini chocolate chips, diced banana, cinnamon
Steps
- 01Prepare the pancake batter according to the package directions. Don't overmix. Lumpy batter makes better pancakes and better pancake bites.
- 02Fold in any mix-ins.
- 03Pour batter into greased silicone mini muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full.
- 04Ready for the air fryer.
- 05Serve with maple syrup for dipping.
Kodiak Cakes mix makes a higher-protein, denser bite. Bisquick makes a fluffier, lighter one. Both work. The silicone mold is essential here because these stick to everything else. Don't try this in a metal muffin tin without serious greasing.
