Recipe Tuesday: Puffins :)

I love the Bakerella site. All the cake pops are so cute. I found this recipe on her site and we make it at least once a week. We call them Puffins (how cute is that?!)

Mini Maple Pancake Muffins

Generously grease a 24 cup mini muffin pan with non-stick spray.

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup buttermilk*
1 egg
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

*I did not have buttermilk so I used this instead: Use one tablespoon of acid (lemon juice or white vinegar) for every cup of milk. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before using. Don't forget to measure out 2/3 cup!*

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Sift together with a wire whisk.
• In another bowl, stir buttermilk, egg, maple syrup and melted butter until just combined.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips. Reserve a few chips to sprinkle on the tops.
• Bake for 8-9 minutes.

Makes 24 mini pancake muffins.
Let cool slightly and remove from the pan. You may need to use a toothpick around the edges to separate the pancake muffins from the pan.
Serve immediately with warmed butter if you like or even just with maple syrup.
