If you knew that this "cupcake" (which to me looks like a muffin) was waiting for you at the breakfast table, wouldn't you hop out of bed with a smile on your face?
This is the sort of stuff we need to see at breakfast--a muffin is really just a cupcake without frosting isn't it?
Oh, I have a soft spot for French pastries, and these look divine!
I remember in high school French class we had to make stuff like this and bring it in for everyone in the class to taste--those were the most memorable and fun school days of my life!
I cannot claim that my high school profiteroles turned out even half as scrumptious looking as these in the photo taken by Lisa, but seeing her success with this recipe makes me want to try it too!
To be honest, whenever I make pancakes I just use a Bisquick mix (it's a ready-made pancake and baking mix that you just add eggs and water and oil to).
I have noticed that the trick to adding in "extras" like chocolate chips and such is NOT to stir them into the batter. Been there, done that and it doesn't turn out as well as pouring the pancakes on to the griddle or pan, then immediately placing the chocolate chips or whatever you want to add on to the pancake that has not set up yet.
Yes, this means that one side will look all pretty like those from the masterful cook/photographer who shot these, and that the other side will look like a normal pancake.
However, it also means that the chips are evenly distributed, and one pancake doesn't have a ton of chips while the last pancake gets like only 2 chips in it.
If you wanna make the pancakes from scratch, here's a great video. This is for chocolate chip pancakes, but of course feel free to add the delectable raspberries too!
Oh, you cannot go wrong with a banana chocolate chip muffin, can you?
And to top it off--these are Vegan!
It astounds me that such a glorious muffin can be made without any eggs (and no dairy either) in there, but behold--these are nice and puffy, just like a muffin should be!
