Mornings can sometimes be, well, a bit busy getting the oldest two boys out the door for school and trying to drink my coffee before it get cold! I try very hard to have good breakfast options for the kids, but making a full bacon and egg breakfast (which they often request) is not realistic. The kids love my freezer Sausage Pancake Bites, but when I ran out of sausage…I got creative. And now we have Chocolate Chip Pancake Bites which are now everyone’s FAVORITE!!!
I use my mini muffin pan to make these pancake bites. The size is perfect for little hands and mouths. They also freeze extremely well. I love the convenience of homemade freezer foods that are ready in minutes when I need them!
This is a really easy recipe. It is a perfect recipe to get the kids involved and cooking with you in the kitchen. My Jimmy Wray is determined to learn how to cook right now. He may only be five years old, but he knows that the best life skill he can learn is how to make good food for himself! He is also my child who is hungry TEN minutes after DINNER! (Crazy Kid!)
- 1 box (28 oz) Pancake Mix (I use the simple add water mix)
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- Mix entire box of pancake mix according to box directions.
- Add vegetable oil and vanilla.
- Scoop into greased mini muffin pans
- Sprinkle 4-5 chocolate chips into each muffin cup
- Bake at 350˚ for 9-11 minutes or until toothpick inserted in comes out clean
- Freeze in a zip lock bag. To re-heat, place on microwave safe plate and microwave on high for 1 minute

I love that these are bite sized. My kids will love these!
Look yummy, I think I will make them tonight. Luckily I have choc chips in the cupboard
what a fabulous idea. these are perfect for little hands or a quick snack.
Wow! This is going to be a big hit in my home! My boys love chocolate chip pancakes!
I am trying this recipe this weekend! My family loves pancakes, but I really don’t like making then. They take forever, unless I use our electric skillet which takes up tons of space and is a pain to clean. This way they can have their favorite breakfast food and I can do it quicker and easier with a muffin pan!
OMG, these look awesome! Now I need to buy a mini muffin pan so I can make them! 🙂
Those look great! I love the idea of adding them in a mini muffin pan, I so need to make these for my kids!
I absolutely love this idea. My daughter goes crazy for pancakes and making them into little muffins would probably make her day 🙂
This is a totally brilliant idea! I love that they’re bite-sized so I can eat more than one!
They look so cute and so good! I might have to make some of these for a quickie easy breakfast.
I am definitely making these for my kids in the morning!! Yum!
I like that these are bite-sized. They look and sound good to me.
What a fun treat to make for my little cousins. Chocolate plus pancakes equals love.
Aww these are awesome! It would be so fun to surprise the family with these in the morning!
MMM I would love these with a cup of tea. I am going to Bed, Bath, Beyond tomorrow and want to get the muffin pan to try these. I love the idea of bite sized!
These are the perfect size for my greedy kids who love eating. We love pancakes and will have to try this.
My kid eats mini pancakes constantly. I need to just make these instead of purchasing
They are so much more economical! We used to buy those mini pancakes too.
Love the recipe, can’t wait to try it, my son would love it!
Ok…I want those right now! Omg they look so delish! Yum!
