Tiny Pancakes 

Pancakes are one of the most common breakfast items in my family. Whether they're large and thin, smaller and thick or little pancakes, my kids will always have pancakes as their first breakfast choice.

So naturally I had to think about different recipes that would ensure that they are getting nutrients and energy in those pancakes as well -making them more of a healthy pancake recipe.

And one of them being this pancakes recipe. 

They are called silver dollars because they are smaller than regular pancakes and the size of a silver dollar.

While regular pancakes are about 6 inches in diameter, these pancakes are about 2 - 3 inches. And they're usually stacked upon each other.

You can pretty much try these adorable mini pancakes with any pancake batter recipe you have but it is preferable to have the batter slightly thicker to allow for the small pancakes to have their form. 

Ingredients For Silver-Dollar Pancakes 

To make these fluffy and tender pancakes on busy mornings, you'll need the following ingredients: 

• all-purpose flour: I like to use all-purpose flour when making pancakes but I've also tried with a number of different flours such as oat flour, buckwheat flour and almond flour and these all work
• coconut sugar: if I want to add a sweet ingredient to make my pancakes more sweet, I almost always go for coconut sugar. It is slightly healthier than regular sugar and doesn't spike up the blood sugar as quickly so for me is definitely the better option
• baking powder: to make these pancakes nice and fluffy you'll need a leavening agent and I always prefer baking powder to baking soda
• egg: I like using eggs in pancake recipes to bind the ingredients and I almost always use organic eggs
• milk: for this recipe you can use both cow's milk or any plant-based milk of choice
• coconut oil: I like to use coconut oil as my choice of fat for pancakes, but you can use a little butter instead  

How To Make - Step-by-Step 

Follow these easy steps to make the best pancakes for your kids: 

1. Put all the wet ingredients into a large bowl and mix until combined. 
2. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter. You can either whisk, use a stand-alone or hand mixer or like I do use a Nutri Bullet. Let the batter rest for a few minutes. 
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If needed, you can put some coconut oil to grease it a bit. Pour about one tablespoon of batter into circles on the skillet leaving about an inch in between them. Bake for about 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on top. 
4. Flip the mini pancakes and continue baking for about another 1 - 2 minutes until golden brown. The easiest way to flip them is by using a silicone spatula. 
5. Continue with the remaining batter until you have all your mini pancakes. 
6. ​Serve with toppings and spreads of choice.

• fresh fruit such as berries or bananas 
• dark chocolate chips 
• chopped nuts

Topping Ideas 

Try serving these pancakes with some of the following pancake toppings. One of the best and easiest ways of serving these pancakes is just stacking a number of pancakes on top of each other and adding toppings. 

• fresh fruit 
• chocolate sauce 
• cream cheese 
• peanut butter
• lemon juice 
• chopped nuts 
• jam 
• whipped cream
• maple syrup

Storing Mini Silver Dollar Pancakes 

In case you have some leftover pancakes or you simply want to make them ahead of time and store, the easiest way of doing so is in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. 

You can also freezer them but in that case store them in silicone bags and up to 3 months in the freezer.
