Pancake Cereal is the Ultimate Recipe Hack Yet & It’s Incredibly Easy to Make!
Pancake cereal is a thing!
With many people working from home and various closures across the entire country, we’re finding new ways to fend for ourselves in the kitchen… and this new breakfast craze definitely caught our eye.
Mini pancake cereal is the new life hack that turns ordinary pancakes into teeny tiny pancakes that are spoonable (or forkable). Yum!
Turns out that getting more time in the kitchen is actually the best thing ever because people are hacking recipes left and right (like waffle maker grilled cheese, whipped coffee, and 3-ingredient whipped strawberry milk) — it’s no wonder they’re all going viral and we’re all getting hungry. 😍
Pancake cereal is no different, 🤤 and we all know that pancakes are always, YES!

No matter the time of day, season, or meal, pancakes always hit the spot and the process to have delicious mini pancake cereal is actually quite simple. You’ll just need some of your favorite pancake mix (or make your own), one Ziploc bag, maple syrup, your favorite pancake toppings, and a bowl to put it all in.
Speaking of toppings, here are some ideas for your pancake cereal:
-
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, etc.)
- Honey or Agave (instead of syrup)
- Nutella
- Chocolate chips
- M&Ms
- Bananas
- Nuts
- Chopped bacon (because why not?)
Hip Tip: Psst… are you Keto?! We have the best keto pancake recipe over on our sister site, Hip2Keto, so you can hop on the pancake cereal train, too. 😉
After you’ve whipped up your pancake batter, you’ll pour it all into your bag. Then you’ll cut a small hole in one of the bottom corners so it’s easy to pipe the mini pancakes onto your pan. Better yet, if you have a large pancake griddle, you could most likely get all of your mini pancakes done in one fell swoop. 🙌
Just like traditional pancakes, you’ll flip them over once they start to bubble. Remember that since these are teeny tiny pancakes, cooking them won’t take long at all so don’t go changing the laundry while these babies are cooking.
Did you also know that you can make pancakes in a sheet pan? They’re a team favorite around here and they’re one of the easiest hacks ever!
Now your mini pancakes are ready to enjoy!
To butter them up, you could toss them around for a few seconds in a pan with butter or just enjoy them plain! Then pour them in your cereal bowl and add your favorite toppings – the more the merrier. Although we’d reonlinemend holding the milk for this cereal, anything is game during quarantine, so have at it, friends. 😉

Teeny tiny pancakes covered in your favorite toppings and syrup, for a fun new way to eat the breakfast classic.
Ingredients
- Your favorite pancake mix
- Plastic bag
- Griddle or pan
- Maple syrup
- Other toppings (optional)
Directions
1
Make pancake batter by either using your favorite recipe or boxed mix.
2
Pour pancake batter into a plastic bag and cut a tiny hole in one of the bottom corners.
3
Pipe small drops onto a heated griddle (325°) or a pan over medium heat, leaving space in between so the batter doesn't run together. Non-stick works best to prevent sticking, and you may also want to grease or butter the pan.
4
Flip pancakes with a spatula once air bubbles start to appear. Brown the other side (about 1-2 minutes) and transfer to a bowl.
5
Add toppings to your bowl of pancakes and enjoy!
