Mini German Pancakes Recipe filled with Berry Sauce
One of the most requested meals in our house are German pancakes. Every weekend when I ask the kids what they want me to make; they always ask for German pancakes. But not just any German Pancakes. Mini German Pancakes! They absolutely love the perfect personal size! I love how the German Pancakes offer a lot more protein and less sugar than regular pancakes. So, as long as I have enough eggs on hand, I often let them have their way. These Mini German Pancakes have become so popular that I decided it was time to share the magic recipe!
Mini German Pancakes Recipe
This recipe is similar to a regular German Pancake Recipe made in a 9 X 13 pan, but just slightly different. And they end up looking a lot more enticing than the regular large pan German Pancake.

There isn’t much of a trick to making these delicious mini German Pancakes. They are quite easy and very popular among our family and friends. We tend to make them almost every weekend. And would you believe the kids can out eat Mommy when it comes to these? The kids just can’t stop! The last time; I believe both boys (ages 8 and 9) ended up eating 5 of them and Miss Jade ate 4 herself! Not bad for having super picky kids who refuse to eat!
I also love how versatile you can be with these mini German Pancakes! You can top them off with just a spritz of lemon juice and dusting of powdered sugar. Or you can add your favorite syrup. Maple syrup is quite delicious on these. We’ve also tried regular Raspberry Rhubarb Jam, Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, Blueberry jam, Blueberry & Huckleberry Syrup, or with just freshly sliced berries. I’ve also seen these filled with Yogurt and fresh fruit! There are so many amazing ways to enjoy them!

I’ve never heard of German pancakes (and I even lived in Germany LOL.) These look so good and I bet my kids would love them!
That’s what I thought was funny too, cause we lived in Germany too and never heard of them until we moved back to the states! lol. But since discovering them; my kids want them ALL the time.
Oh my goodness – those look so good! Totally makes me want to lick my screen!
I would definitely have to go with the powdered sugar and maple syrup. They look AMAZING!!
Yum! I can’t wait to try these. Pancakes are a huge hit in our house so these will be a great update to our normal Saturday mornings.
This looks like the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. I thought it was actually going to be pancakes, but this looks even better.

Love this recipe. I think my kids would eat up some mini german panckes. I think my crew would enjoy apple cinnamon topping. I am definitely trying this recipe. Thanks for the tip.
An apple cinnamon topping would be delicious on these!!

These look super cute and tasty. I never thought to put pancake mix in muffin tins. I am totally going to do this next time.
I’ve never heard of this, but YUM. Would it be very wrong to have this for dinner tonight?
Actually we have this for dinner a few times a month. The kids beg and beg and beg for it. I don’t feel so bad giving in since it is more egg than flour. And its an easy dinner. 🙂
Wow, now that looks gorgeous and delicious!

Love this recipe. It looks really good with the blueberry topping, which is how I think I would like it best. When I think of German food though, I think apples first so I may try it with those.
WOW those look way to good, I have never heard or seen of these before now I am tempted to make some myself!
I have never heard of mini German pancakes but they do look delicious and I am going to make them. I am going to use a cherry filling, one of my favorites.

It looks like something I’d buy in a pastry shop! Definitely worth to try!
