Mini Maple Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins

MMMMmmmmmm.... Delicious! It was a sunny Saturday Morning when I wanted something

"fun" for breakfast instead of cereal. So I went to Bakerella.com (the Best Website EVER!) and found, Heaven!

Oh Yummy! chocolate and pancakes are good but to make it into a muffin... EVEN BETTER!

Yes they really, really truly are the GREATEST!

Mini Maple Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins.

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

• 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.

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.
