Take your favorite Sunday breakfast food, pancakes, with you to work all week long with these Portable Chocolate Chip Pancakes. Made with only 5-ingredients this recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and vegetarian friendly. Paleo.
Happy meal prep Sunday! Today’s recipe couldn’t be a better fit for the day given that one of the top Sunday breakfast foods is pancakes! Honestly, who doesn’t love a good pancake recipe? They are always a go-to in our houses on the weekends. You know, sleep in, grab a cup of coffee, relax, make a big batch of pancakes with eggs, bacon and fresh fruit……Ahhhhh! If only every day of the week could start like that!
You may not be able to sleep in during the week, but you can enjoy pancakes (plus eggs and bacon if you want) with this recipe for portable chocolate chip pancakes. It’s as simple as mixing up a box of pancake mix and then baking them in your favorite muffin pan.
The only ingredients needed to make this recipe are pancake mix, eggs, oil, water, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
Mix everything together. Add in some of the chocolate chips and then decide if you want to make larger muffins or smaller bite sized ones for the kids in the house!
Or, do like we did and make some of each! If you have the Farm Chef Table silicone muffin baking set on hand you can choose from regular size or mini muffins! It’s literally so much fun to pop those bite-sized portable chocolate chip pancakes into your mouth! So fun and almost too easy sometimes 😉
Finish off the muffins with extra chocolate chips on top and then into the oven they go!
One of the things we love about baking with silicone muffins pans is that we do not have to use any oil or cooking spray to coat the pans before adding the mix to the muffin cups. That is a win in saving fat calories from oil and chemicals from the non-stick spray!
And check out how easy these little portable chocolate chip pancakes just come right out of the muffin pan! All you need to do is bend the muffin pan back a bit and…..
out they come! We can’t even tell you how much we appreciated the 15 minutes we saved from not having to let the pan cool down! Another meal prep time saving win!
Ahhh……just check out those perfect portable chocolate chip pancakes!
You can do a traditional Sunday breakfast style prep and serve with eggs and bacon or make it a little lighter and go with all of your favorite berries! It’s now a pancake party for breakfast or snack all week long!
Can you even imagine using these muffin pans for a recipe like these egg muffins? Heck, you could even use them to make these keto bacon sausage meatballs!
Are you ready to make your pancakes portable this week?

Can you clarify “1 box?”
Absolutely! It is 1 box of the Simple Mills Pancake Mix
Under ingredients it says water, but in the directions it says milk? I tried to make it with your list of ingredients but there was not enough liquid. Is the recipe correct?
Hi Michelle – You can use milk or water as we have listed in the ingredients listing. Are you using the Simple Mills pancake mix? If you are using another brand then you may need more or less liquid.
Holy cow, these are adorable. I have been on a huge pancake and waffle kick lately, so I think these need to be added to the rotation.
For those confused by “1 box”: Simple Mills boxes are about 10.7 oz. Most other pancake mixes (i.e. bisquick) are 40 oz. You’ll want to look at how many oz. Of mix are in the box you buy and adjust accordingly. For me, I just pulled 10.7 oz out of my 40 oz box rather than quadrupling the recipe.
