Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups Milk (whole milk preferred)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Optional Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup Blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or strawberries
Instructions
- Mix Batter: In one bowl, combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt). In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract). Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Fold in any optional mix-ins if using.
- Fill Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking. Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each muffin cavity about three-quarters full with the pancake batter.
- Bake: Place the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The pancake poppers are done when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the pancake poppers rest for 5 minutes to set before carefully removing them from the tin.
- Serve: Serve the pancake poppers warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. They make a perfect grab-and-go breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancake poppers.
- Greasing the mini muffin tin well helps to easily release the poppers after baking.
- Feel free to customize mix-ins based on your preference or what’s in season.
- These can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Reheat poppers in a toaster oven or microwave for a quick breakfast fix.
