Is anything cuter than mini pancake cereal? Follow these tips to make the recipe you’ve seen on TikTok. Then top them with butter and maple syrup and enjoy!

What Is Pancake Cereal?

It’s exactly what it sound like! It’s cereal made of little tiny pancakes! It’s really easy to make, even if you’re bad at flipping pancakes like us. They’re sort of like poffertjes or Dutch mini pancakes, except they’re even smaller and they don’t need a special pan.

And, they’re probably one of the cutest foods you’ll ever eat, depending on how much time you spend in theme restaurants. Speaking of, we are going straight to a Rainforest Cafe as soon as we can go places.

This isn’t the first time pancakes and cereal have tried to come together. In March, IHOP debuted cereal pancakes. They featured flapjacks topped with whipped cream, flavored syrup, and breakfast cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but for some reason went away in mid-April. Unlike these, which you can enjoy all year long.

How Do You Make Pancake Cereal?

To make pancake cereal, all you have to do is make your favorite pancake recipe, then pipe it out into very small circles on a hot pan. I adapted Cafe Delites’s Fluffy Pancake recipe for this one and it really did make the tiniest fluffiest pancakes. Omg. So much fluff. Here’s how to make them.

  1. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Make a well in the center.
  3. Whisk the wet ingredients together, then slowly start to work in the dry ingredients.
  4. Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle pan with 1 tablespoon of oil and heat on medium high.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with an Ateco 805 tip.
  6. Pipe out the mini pancakes by squeezing twice, then releasing before starting another.
  7. Let the pancakes cook until you see small bubbles on the surface, then flip using chopsticks or a spatula.
  8. Let them cook on the other side for 30 seconds.
  9. Remove from heat and repeat with the rest of the batter.
  10. Serve in a bowl with butter and maple syrup.

Here’s some step-by-step photos! First, mix up the dry ingredients and create a well in the middle. Pour the wet ingredients into this well. Don’t let Timmy fall in. No one has time for that.

Then mix the wet ingredients, and slowly incorporate the dry.

Finally, flip them over, transfer to a bowl and enjoy!

Pancake Cereal Tips

  • Use a Piping Bag: I tried the “cut off a corner of a Ziploc” method and found it messy and unwieldy. I found using a piping bag with an Ateco 805 tip was much easier.
  • Use a flat pan: Flipping the tiny pancakes with an edged pan can be tricky. A griddle pan or a crepe maker will make this so much easier!
  • Get creative: Serve the pancakes with whatever you want! Top them with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or fruit! Anything you’d usually put on your hotcakes works great on these mini pancakes, so go for it.
  • Take them to go: Because they’re so small, they’re a great little snack. Put them in a resealable bag and bring them on your next hike!
