Mini Honey Chocolate Chips Puffins

Really, it is understandable. Apart from that little amount of butter and sugar and honey in the batter, there isn't much to sweeten things up. It is after all a pancake batter. And yes, I really hate flipping and the fact that everyone else is sitting at the dining table eating away with cutleries cluttering away while I'm still flipping away pancakes to serve more! Same goes to French toast! I wonder what happens if you bake French toast ?


Mini Puffins with Honey and Mini Chocolate Chips (Bakerella Inspired)
makes 18

1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar

Whisk the above well. You can sift them if you want, I couldn't be bothered.


1/2 egg, beaten
1 tbsp honey
1/3 cup milk + 1 tsp lemon juice (let it curdle and sit for 15 mins before using)
1 tbsp melted butter

Mix the above well and whisk it into the dry mixture. Whisk till lump free and toss in 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips into it. Spoon just over 1 teaspoon of the mixture into well greased mini muffin pan and bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C for just 8 to 9 mins. I did exactly 10 mins to be safe and because my oven is half kooky and half lunatic.

Cool slightly and remove them from pan. You might need a toothpick to run through the edges if they are sticking a little. For all you know, they are healthy little gem with just 1 tbsp of melted buttter and 1 tbsp of honey in them.

I like these. I will make them again soon. Thanks for having fun with me in the kitchen Sue though you are exactly 3,553 miles away from me in terms of distance and you are baking these in the comfort of our home kitchen and I have to churn these babies in a flimsy oven.

I had fun and I hope you too did!
