What is Cereal Pancakes?

Cereal pancakes are tiny pancakes the size of cereal. They are poured into a bowl and topped with a variety of things like chocolate chips, syrup, butter, honey, fruits, and even milk!

They have been made popular by Tik Tok but have been around for a while as baby pancakes which are normal pancakes made into mini sizes.

I first found out about these amazing creations from my nieces, who are teenagers and are big fans of Tik Tok videos, dances, and challenges. So when they called to ask for the ideal pancake mix batter to make cereal pancakes, I had to give them this recipe that I am about to share with you.

In another bowl, add the egg, milk, and melted butter and whisk.

Add the flour mix in the wet mixture and whisk till well combined. Leave to rest for 3-5 minutes.

Pour the pancake mix in a piping bag or squeeze bottle. To use a piping bag or Ziploc bag, cut a tiny hole at the bottom.

If the hole is too big, the pancake will be big.

Place a nonstick pan on heat or turn on an electric griddle, when heated start piping the mix to form small round pancakes.

Let it cook for about 30 seconds, and when it bubbles, turn to the other side to cook.

Pour into a bowl and repeat till you use up the batter.

Variation

There are different variations to the cereal pancakes, you can have chocolate cereal pancakes, confetti, and even colored pancake cereal.

Chocolate - Add unsweetened cocoa powder to the batter and follow the directions. You might have to add a little bit more sugar if adding cocoa powder.

For Multicolored, split your batter into two to four and add food coloring of your choice to achieve the colors you want then follow the same directions to make your pancakes.

You can add bananas, confetti, add rainbow sprinkles to the pancake batter. The choice is yours. Be creative and have fun making your tasty breakfast cereal.

How to Serve

There are many options for enjoying these mini pancakes.

I like to enjoy it with fruits like strawberries and blueberries then top with some honey. My girls like theirs with strawberries, blueberries plus chocolate chips and butter.

Other toppings you can serve with are maple syrup, Nutella, cream cheese, marshmallows and you can pour milk over it.

I have seen people on social media make it mini but bigger than a dime size (i also did this at my first trial) and stack it on a fork to eat.

I personally don't like it with milk but If you would like to have it with milk, avoid putting the milk in the bowl first. Top with milk instead.

Tips

• Be careful when flipping over the pancakes to avoid them from sticking together.

• Use a small spatula or chopstick or kebab stick to flip your pancakes. You can use two spatulas to turn them over.

• Grease your pan, skillet or griddle with oil instead of butter. If using a nonstick pan, no need to grease.

• Don't squeeze out too much at a time so they are not too big as they will widen a bit when you've squeezed in the pan.

• Start cooking on low heat to give enough time to pipe the batter in the pan.

• You can make it more fun by adding coloring to the batter and making rainbow or multicolored pancakes cereal.

• As they are small sizes, they get cold quickly so keep them in the oven to stay warm while you make the other batches.

• You can have it as brunch or dinner and not just breakfast.

FAQ

Can I use this recipe for normal-sized pancakes?

Yes, you can use this mix and you will get fluffy, delicious normal pancakes as this recipe is the best pancake mix in my opinion.

Can I make it vegan?

Absolutely. Just substitute the non-vegan ingredients. For example, use almond milk, oat milk or soy milk instead of whole milk and oil instead of butter.

Even though this takes longer to make than the regular-sized ones, I had fun making it with my children and it's something we'll be doing once in a while just for the fun and deliciousness of it. Will you be making it often? Let me know your verdict.
