Pancake Poppers offer all the comfort of traditional pancakes but in a convenient, poppable form. These mini muffins are golden on the outside, soft on the inside, and ready in just 20 minutes. They're ideal for meal prepping, serving at gatherings, or simply enjoying as a quick breakfast. Plus, they can be customized with various mix-ins like chocolate chips, berries, or bananas to suit your taste.
Full Recipe:
2 cups all purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1¾ cups milk
2 large eggs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (or brown butter for added flavor)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup mix ins (e.g., blueberries, mini chocolate chips, diced banana, or chopped strawberries)
Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. It's okay if the batter is a bit lumpy; avoid overmixing.
Add Mix ins: Fold in your chosen mix-ins, ensuring they're evenly distributed without overworking the batter.
Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the poppers to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm with optional toppings like maple syrup or powdered sugar
