These Chunky Monkey Pancake Bites are the perfect breakfast for little hands. Keep them stashed in the freezer for a quick grab and go meal!
One of my all-time post popular posts is my Chunky Monkey Pancakes.
They are sweet, banana filled, pancakes loaded with mini chocolate chips.
If I am being honest, they are nothing short of amazing.
I decided creating a super simple pancake muffin version was necessary. Enter:

What are pancake muffins?
Pancake muffins, or pancake bites, are made using a pancake batter, but instead of cooking on a griddle, you bake in the oven. Using a mini cupcake tin gives you a bite sized freezer friendly breakfast ready in minutes!
How to make pancake bites:
- Gather all of your ingredients. I actually use a pancake mix base which makes these even easier to put together!
- Stir all of the ingredients together by hand. It’s ok if there are a few lumps in the batter.
- Use a cookie scoop to get an even batter pour into your mini muffin tins.
- Bake and serve!
Can you freeze pancake bites?
Yes! These are very kid friendly which means we almost always have a batch in the freezer. They are ideal for a grab-and-go breakfast for the kid or for myself!
To freeze: After your pancake muffins have cooked and cooled, add to a freezer safe zip top bag.
When you are ready to eat all you need to do is microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute and serve with syrup for dipping!
You should get 48 pancake bites from this recipe. I divided ours into small sandwich sized baggies and then combined those into a large one for the freezer. When we are in a hurry, or I’m just lazy, I pull out a packet and toss them in the microwave for a few seconds. We don’t even eat them with syrup but I wouldn’t judge you if you did.

How would you recommend reheating them on a camping trip?

Hi Anita, I would freeze them before the trip and let them thaw before serving. I'm not sure there is a great way to heat them when out in the great outdoors.
