There is no better way to start the morning than with a good breakfast.
Weekday morning meals consist of a smoothie, oatmeal or Greek yogurt and fruit – but the weekends? As far as I’m concerned, one weekend morning should include a breakfast treat.
Strawberry Mini Dutch Babies
This morning’s offering was inspired by Make and Take’s Pop Up Pancakes, but strays far from the original recipe when it comes to ingredients. I might want a weekend breakfast treat, but there’s no reason I can’t stick with my healthy eating plan at the same time.
Magic Bullet Mini Dutch Babies
I took advantage of my handy-dandy Magic Bullet to whip up these easy mini Dutch Babies. It did a great job of combining eggs, whole wheat pastry flour (a favorite baking flour), chia seeds, flax seeds, and frozen strawberries into a smooth and creamy mixture I could pour into my muffin tins.
Magic Bullet Mini Dutch Babies
Fresh from the oven, my Dutch Babies were tender and custard-like on the inside. All I needed was a quick drizzle of 100% maple syrup, and a side of fresh fruit – that’s what I call a weekend treat.
Enjoy your Sunday!
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg white
- ½ cup strawberries
- ½ cup low fat milk
- ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon flax seed meal
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- ½ tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Whip ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- Generously spray a non-stick muffin tin with cooking spray and fill 8 muffins tins 2/3 full.
- Bake for 15 - 18 minutes until lightly browned on the top and cooked in the middle.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then slip a knife around the edges and gently scoop out with a large spoon. These can tend to stick, so care is needed to remove from the pan.

Those Dutch babies would put a smile on my kids’ faces. I have made huge Dutch pancakes, but I can tell I need to try the little versions. I love all of the healthful things you put in yours.

That’s odd. I’ll have to check it out. It didn’t show up 3 times. Have a good week!
I love dutch babies! I never thought to make them mini though – with five people in my family 1 dutch baby doesn’t cut it, and I’m always trying to figure out how to make more!

Apart from the chia seeds, I think I have everything to make these goodies! I think they’d be sooo good with a dollop of nutella!

Very good suggestion!
How cool! Love the mini-ness of them, and I’m dying to try a magic bullet!

Oh these are genius! I love the whole idea – bookmarked!
PS – do you love the Magic Bullet? I really need to get a blender and I’m torn.

I love my magic bullet. It was worth every penny. It works perfectly for smaller jobs like this, and I wouldn’t make a vinaigrette without it. You can buy a all kinds of accessories like a larger container for bigger jobs too. Cleans up easily. I should be a spokesperson.
Lovely breakfast, mini dutch babies looks delicious. Happy Valentine’s Day!

These look fantastic! I just bought a package of chia seeds and have been looking for new recipes to use them in – I’ll have to give this a shot sometime!

Belinda @zomppa recently posted…Show Some Love: where did our photos go?
It really does work. I use mine all the time. Have a wonderful weekend!
What a great idea for breakfast and healthy, too! You know, I love smoothies, but hate breaking out my blender for them….I think I’m going to have to invest in a Magic Bullet! Thanks for TWO ideas this morning!
