Mini Pancake Cereal 

Mini Pancake Cereal is a TikTok-viral breakfast trend that turns everyday pancakes into bite‑sized discs you can eat like cereal. The pancakes cook up extra crispy thanks to their small size, and they’re addictive when served in a bowl with butter, maple syrup, milk, or fun toppings. Crafted for two servings and ready in about 30 minutes, this playful recipe combines simple pantry staples and transforms breakfast into a nostalgic, whimsical experience you’ll want to try again and again 

Ingredients

• ½ cup (113 g) whole milk
  
  

• 1 large egg
  
  

• 1½ teaspoons canola oil (plus more to grease the pan)
  
  

• 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• ½ cup (64 g) all‑purpose flour
  
  

• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  
  

• 2 teaspoons baking powder
  
  

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  
  

• Butter and maple syrup, for serving (optional)
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 250 °F and place a wire rack on a sheet pan to keep your pancakes warm as you cook.
   
   

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, oil, and melted butter.
   
   

3. Sprinkle in the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a spatula just until combined—some lumps are okay.
   
   

4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brush or oil the pan with about ½ teaspoon neutral oil. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low once hot.
   
   

5. Transfer the batter into a piping bag or disposable zip‑top bag (snip a tiny corner). Pipe dime‑ or nickel‑sized dots (~20 mm) onto the skillet.
   
   

6. Cook the mini pancakes 1–2 minutes until edges look set and center lightly golden. Carefully flip each with stiff spatulas or chopsticks, and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden underneath.
   
   

7. Transfer cooked batches to the wire rack in the oven to stay warm and crisp while you finish cooking the rest.
   
   

8. Once all mini pancakes are ready, serve immediately. Top with butter and maple syrup, drizzle with milk, or get creative with fruit, chocolate chips, peanut butter—anything you like!
