Description

Maple Bourbon Pancake Muffin Skewers offer a delightful twist on traditional pancakes by baking them into mini muffin-sized bites infused with rich bourbon and pure maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 12 wooden skewers
  • ½ cup maple syrup, for drizzling or dipping
  • Fresh strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-well mini muffin tin or line each well with mini paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they are evenly distributed.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, pure maple syrup, bourbon, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Mix Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix as this helps keep the pancake muffins fluffy.
  5. Portion and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin wells, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Muffins: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before handling.
  7. Thread Skewers: Once the pancake muffins are fully cooled, thread 2 to 3 muffins onto each wooden skewer. You may alternate the muffins with fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices for added flavor and presentation.
  8. Serve: Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle with additional maple syrup or serve syrup on the side for dipping to enhance the sweet, rich flavor of the pancake muffins.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffy pancake muffins.
  • If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, omit bourbon and add an equal amount of extra maple syrup or buttermilk.
  • Use fresh fruit of your choice to complement the sweetness and add a refreshing contrast.
  • Mini paper liners make cleanup easier but greasing the pan well is sufficient if you prefer a crisper muffin edge.
  • These pancake muffins can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
