Breakfast Pancake Poppers 

Pancake Poppers are a delightful twist on traditional pancakes, offering all the fluffiness and flavor in a convenient, bite-sized form.

With a base of pantry staples and the option to customize with your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips or berries, Pancake Poppers are both versatile and delicious. They also freeze well, making them an excellent make-ahead option for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
