Tiktok pancakes are coming to make your breakfast life easier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ice cube tray pancakes aren\u2019t pre-cooked frozen pancakes, they\u2019re raw frozen pancake batter that you cook from frozen. This means a fresh stack of pancakes without the mixing and cleaning!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a breakfast person. I used to skip breakfast on the regular but now that I\u2019m an \u201cadult\u201d I aim to eat breakfast everyday. It really IS the most important meal of the day. Usually I just have a slice of toast or something simple, but lately, thanks to Tiktok, I\u2019ve been having daily breakfasts of quick and easy fluffy pancake stacks.<\/p>\n

What are tiktok pancakes?<\/h2>\n

Frozen pancakes, ice cube pancakes, ice cute tray pancakes, pancake ice cube hack, freezer pancakes: whatever you want to call them, they\u2019re all essentially the same thing. Pour pancake batter into an ice cube tray (or food mold), freeze it, and boom, you have ice cube tray pancakes. You can add mix-ins to the batter or leave it plain, it\u2019s up to you. The genius part is that the batter is pre-mixed, pre-portioned, and ready for the frying pan. That means there\u2019s no measuring, no mixing, and not as much clean up. It\u2019s perfect for those days when you feel like a little bit of a special breakfast but don\u2019t have the time or inclination to break out everything you need to mix up a batch of pancakes.<\/p>\n

Frozen pancake batter?!<\/h2>\n

Some people think raw frozen pancake batter is ridiculous \u2013 you can\u2019t win over everyone \u2013 but for me, I love that almost instantaneous, but still cooking aspect of ice cube pancakes. I love a fresh stack of pancakes and they cook up super cute and small. Sure, it\u2019s true that you can meal prep pancakes and freeze them already cooked, but it\u2019s not quite the same as freshly cooked.<\/p>\n

As for where ice cube tray pancakes came from, I think they\u2019ve been around for a while, at least according to a quick google search, but I first saw them on Tiktok when I saw this post<\/a>. The thick and fluffy pancakes caught my eye and more than 8 million other people too.<\/p>\n

How to make Tiktok pancakes<\/h2>\n

Make your favorite pancake recipe<\/h3>\n

You can go with store bought pancake mix or use your go-to pancake recipe. I like to use my simple fluffy buttermilk pancake recipe. It\u2019s one cup flour mixed with 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. After that\u2019s mixed up in a bowl, you whisk an egg with 1 cup of buttermilk then add it to the dry mix. Stir it up so everything\u2019s mixed together \u2013 this batter is nice and thick which means extra fluffy pancakes.<\/p>\n

Pour the pancake batter into an ice cube tray<\/h3>\n

After your pancake batter is ready, all you need to do is pour it into clean ice cube trays. The smaller your ice cubes, the smaller your pancakes will be, so be sure to use an appropriate sized ice cube tray to how big you want your pancakes to be.<\/p>\n

Add-ins<\/h3>\n

If you want, this is the time to add mix-ins to your pancakes. Make sure whatever you\u2019re adding is small enough to fit into the ice cube molds. You can do fruit (berries, bananas, apples), sprinkles (for funfetti pancakes!), nuts (chopped pecans, almonds, walnuts, pistachios), chocolate, or spices like cinnamon or pumpkin spice. Just drop the mix ins on top of the pancake batter, as you cook the pancakes, the mix ins will gently insert themselves into the pancakes.<\/p>\n

Freeze the pancakes<\/h3>\n

Once the pancake batter (and mix-ins, if using) are all set up in the ice cube trays, it\u2019s time to freeze. Simply freeze in the freezer until frozen solid. After that, you can leave them in the trays or pop them out and place them in freezer bags\/a freezer container. I like to just pop them out and put them in a container.<\/p>\n

Cook the pancakes as needed<\/h3>\n

When you need a quick pancake fix, heat up a non stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add a bit of butter or oil and a frozen ice cube pancake straight from the freezer. Cook, on low and slow, until the until the pancake melts, cooks, and starts to bubble at the edges, about 2-3 minutes, depending on the size. When the edges are set, flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden then enjoy with butter and syrup!<\/p>\n

What ice cube tray for Tiktok pancakes?<\/h2>\n

Truthfully you can use any ice cube tray you have at home, but the best tray you can use is a silicone ice cube tray<\/a>. They come in so many sizes and it\u2019s super easy to push the pancakes out. I like using the silicone molds<\/a> that I use for hot chocolate bombs because I have them and they\u2019re round like pancakes.<\/p>\n
