Mini Maple Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffin

I found this recipe on Bakerella's website. It calls for maple syrup in the recipe. Sounds yummy. Looks yummy. I had to make them!

Ingredients
-1 cup flour
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-2 tablespoons sugar
-2/3 cup buttermilk
-1 egg
-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
-2 tablespoons melted butter
-1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use cooking spray generously on a 24 mini muffin pan.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Sift together with a wire whisk.

In another bowl, stir buttermilk, egg, maple syrup and melted butter until just combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until combined.

Stir in chocolate chips. Reserve a few chips to sprinkle on the tops.

Bake for 8-9 minutes.

Makes 24 mini pancake muffins.

Let cool slightly and remove from the pan. You may need to use a toothpick around the edges to separate the pancake muffins from the pan. Serve immediately with warmed butter if you like or even just with maple syrup.

Enjoy! :)
