Pancake Muffins - #MuffinMonday

I have been going through a serious bout of baker's block lately. I spend long hours staring at and thinking about upcoming blog event themes but I just cannot seem to translate that into something that I want to make. Nothing sounds good. And when it does sound good, I am just not in the mood to make it or cannot find the ingredients that I need. I skipped last month's Muffin Monday because of this and almost skipped this one too. But then I remembered that a friend had emailed me about pancake muffins.

These are really simple to make and easily customizable. You could throw different mix-ins into each muffin or keep them plain like I did. They are not particularly sweet - which I love. This means that if pouring maple syrup over pancakes is your thing, you can still do that here. Best of all? You get your pancake fix in a much more portable form!

Pancake Muffins

Yield: 12 muffins

Adapted from Pioneer Woman

Ingredients

3 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

3 tablespoons brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cup milk

2 eggs

4 tablespoons oil

1 tablespoon vinegar

1 tablespoon vanilla

Directions

Grease the wells of a muffin tin. Preheat oven to 350 F.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. In a separate container whisk together milk, eggs, oil, vinegar and vanilla.

Gently mix together the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. The batter will be lumpy.

Divide among muffin wells. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
