Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin pan to ensure the pancake poppers don’t stick during baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these together to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasonings.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gently pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix to maintain a fluffy texture.
  5. Fill the muffin pan: Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the pancake poppers to cool slightly in the pan before removing. Serve warm with your favorite syrup or toppings for a delightful breakfast pop-in-your-mouth experience.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use dairy-free butter or coconut oil.
  • To add flavor variations, consider folding in blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts before baking.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the pancake poppers tender and light.
  • These poppers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
