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 Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined to keep the batter light and fluffy without overworking the gluten.
  5. Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon or scoop the batter into the greased mini muffin pan cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the poppers turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the pancake poppers to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm with syrup or your favorite toppings for a delightful breakfast bite.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancake poppers light and fluffy.
  • If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, regular muffin tins can be used, though baking time may increase slightly.
  • For an extra touch, add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter before baking.
  • These poppers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
