Gluten Free Dairy Free Stuffed Pancake Muffins

When I make these to have in the freezer, I would make one batch filled or with a mix-in, then another batch plain or with cinnamon sugar topping.  I made some (with the same amount of batter per muffin) in a canoe pan which the kids thought were fun and very easy to dip.  If making multiple batches, mix up one batch at a time and bake it off before making another one for best results.
