Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, plus extra for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup mini muffin tin or insert paper liners.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon strips until crisp. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, gently whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  5. Add the wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing for a tender texture.
  6. Fold in half of the chopped bacon pieces into the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, using approximately one heaping tablespoon per cup.
  8. Distribute the remaining chopped bacon over each portion.
  9. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until pancake bites are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
  10. Allow to cool slightly, then drizzle each bite with maple syrup and serve warm with extra syrup available.

Notes

  • For best results, do not overmix the batter.
  • Make sure to chop the bacon into small pieces for even distribution.
  • These bites can be served with a variety of toppings besides maple syrup, such as whipped cream or fresh fruit.
