Ingredients:

- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Maple syrup or blueberry syrup for drizzling

Instructions:
Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Cook the Pancake Bites:
Preheat a mini muffin pan or a mini pancake bite maker.
Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or melted butter.
Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Cook until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
Serve:
Remove the pancake bites from the pan and let them cool slightly.
Drizzle with maple syrup or blueberry syrup and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
