Forget whipped coffee: teeny tiny pancakes are the latest quarantine food trend

Need a new culinary project?

Well, if you have already perfected your banana bread recipe, made your own sourdough starter and drunk your fair share of dalgona coffee, TikTok has come to the rescue with yet another food trend to try out.

Say hello to pancake cereal – AKA teeny tiny pancakes served as cereal. And honestly; we’re intrigued.

ICYMI – bowls of miniature pancakes slathered in syrup have been popping up all over social media, with the #pancakecereal hashtag receiving millions of views on both TikTok and Instagram.

The best bit? Making these adorable little pancakes is pretty simple and straightforward. All you need is pancake batter (you’ll find a million recipes on Pinterest, no doubt) and something to squeeze it into tiny circles on a hot pan.

A piping bag will work, as will a clean ketchup, or other squirt-top bottle.

Sabrina Bui, who also posted a video of her pancake cereal on TikTok, used a plastic oral syringe that she found in her medicine cabinet.

“In my opinion, it tastes better than actual pancakes, even though it’s made the same way,” Bui told Insider. “It’s way more fun to eat it as cereal. I feel like I won’t go back to pancakes after this!”

The pancakes only need to cook a few minutes on each side before they’re poured into a bowl to enjoy.

Many users have topped their pancake cereal with butter, maple syrup, chocolate chips, fresh fruit, and sprinkles, and some also added milk( !) The possibilities are pretty much endless, which means the batter possibilities are endless, too (we’re looking at you, Funfetti).
