Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Step 3: In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Step 4: Gently combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
5. Step 5: Scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
6. Step 6: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pancake poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Tips & Variations

• Try adding mini chocolate chips or fresh blueberries to the batter for a fun twist.
• Use almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
• Serving with a dollop of yogurt or nut butter adds extra flavor and nutrition.

Storage

Store any leftover pancake poppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster oven or microwave until heated through. They also freeze well—freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen by baking at 350°F until warm.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a regular muffin pan instead of a mini muffin pan?

You can use a regular muffin pan, but the baking time will increase. Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes and check for doneness with a toothpick.

Can I make the batter ahead of time?

For best results, prepare the batter fresh and bake immediately. However, you can refrigerate the batter for up to 2 hours before baking, but give it a gentle stir before scooping into the pan.
