Mini Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins

Easter brunch .... yum.  We did Easter in SD this year.  We enjoyed good food, family, an egg hunt and the 7.2 earth quake!  It gave us quite a jolt after brunch.  I was assigned the sweet side.  I knew we were having two types of dessert following brunch so, I wanted to keep it simple and just a sweet bite.  I thought these mini pancake muffins were great!  They were easy to make and just the right little sweet bite to accompany a big brunch.  My plan was to make two batches one with chips and one with blueberries but, I ran out of time.  I will definitely make these again and try the blueberry version.

In another bowl, stir buttermilk, egg, maple syrup and melted butter until just combined.
