Cherry Pancake Muffins
I’m always looking for something delicious and easy to have for breakfast. I love sweets and luckily fruit tends to do the trick (most of the time!). I was in the mood for pancakes this morning and thanks to a good friend I learned of a cherry pancake muffins recipe. They’re easy to whip up and you stick them in the oven so there’s no flipping!
I decided to fill these little breakfast treats with fresh cherries (you can also use frozen cherries, or any other fruit you have laying around). I made my favorite pancake batter, no boxes here! Sprayed a cupcake tin, filled each cup about 1/3 of the way, added the freshly cut cherries and maple syrup, and topped each cup off with the rest of the batter to fill each cup about ¾ full. I popped these bad boys in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees and, voila! Perfectly cooked pancake muffins. I added more cherries on the side and topped with a little more syrup for a great breakfast treat. These muffins are a great breakfast option for kids, brunch with friends, or breakfast in bed with the one you love!
