Mini Pancake Cereal

If you are debating whether to have cereal or pancakes for breakfast, try having both at the same time! Mini Pancake Cereal! Even though they take some time to prepare, I can guarantee, mini pancake cereal will become your new favorite breakfast!

If you are on Tik Tok or instagram, you have probably seen the #minipancakecereal trend that was going on a few months ago. For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, mini pancake cereal is bite-sized, tiny, cute, pancakes eaten like cereal in a bowl with a spoon. I was fascinated when I first saw it. I knew I had to make some! My kids are now obsessed, they ask if they can have mini pancake cereal for lunch and dinner. Why not !? Breakfast for dinner is a thing too, right?

Mini Pancake Cereal Batter

While you can use any store pancake mix, I like to use this recipe to make mine because it has the perfect consistency for pipping small pancakes, not too thick and not too thin. After you make your pancake batter, transfer it to a squeeze bottle that has a small open top. This will help your pancakes come out as tiny as you want them to be.

Mini Pancake Cereal Topping

I like to top my mini pancake cereal with classic syrup, butter , white chocolate chips and a bunch of berries. However, I have seen some people pouring milk over these pancakes! This one is up to you! As long as you don’t put the milk in your bowl first, because that’s just crazy! Cereal first, milk next. No matter how you top these mini pancakes, you can’t go wrong. They are so good!

Items Needed to Make Mini Pancake Cereal?

You will need a:

• Squeeze bottle with a small tip to hold the pancake batter and pipe the mini pancakes out.
• Frying pancake pan or a crepe maker if you have one.
• Chopsticks I have found that chopsticks work best for flipping the mini pancakes, but no worries if you don’t have ones accessible. A large spatula will do the job.
