Ingredients You’ll Need
To whip up a batch of these delightful Mini German Pancakes, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Feel free to experiment with the recipe based on your preferences. I sometimes use almond milk instead of regular milk for a nutty flavor, and it works just as well. You can also swap the sugar for honey or maple syrup if you prefer a more natural sweetness.
Directions to Make Mini German Pancakes
Making these Mini German Pancakes is a breeze! Here’s how you can whip up a batch in no time:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancakes are puffed up and golden brown.
5. Remove the pancakes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Feel free to add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
This is where I usually sneak a taste (or two!) because they smell so good coming out of the oven. Don’t worry if they deflate slightly; that’s completely normal and won’t affect the taste.
Variations and Serving Suggestions
For a fun twist on the classic recipe, you can experiment with different add-ins like fresh berries, chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar. I once tried adding chopped nuts to the batter, but it didn’t turn out as expected. Sometimes, it’s best to stick to the original recipe!
When it comes to serving these Mini German Pancakes, my favorite way is to dust them with powdered sugar and serve them with a side of fresh fruit. They also pair beautifully with a cup of hot coffee or a glass of cold milk. However, feel free to get creative with your toppings and find your perfect combination!
(Pro Tip: These pancakes taste just as delicious the next day, so don’t hesitate to make a bigger batch and save some for later. They make a great snack or quick breakfast option when you’re on the go!)

And there you have it – a delightful recipe for Mini German Pancakes that will brighten up any breakfast table.
