    Do I have to put syrup in the mix?

    You don't have to add syrup, but it adds more sweetness and flavor. If you don't add syrup, you may want to add sugar instead.

    Frozen berries don't give the muffins as good of a taste and will make the muffins rather watery. Consider using fresh instead.
  • Question
    Can I make muffins with only pancake batter?
    How.com.vn English: Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, but you'll need to add less liquid than usual, probably about half the quantity specified in the recipe.
