Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¾ cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) melted unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or melted butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries, if desired.
  6. Fill each cavity of the mini muffin tin about ¾ full with batter using a small scoop or spoon.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the pancake poppers to cool in the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For even browning, rotate your muffin tin halfway through baking. Use paper liners for easy cleanup. Customize with mix-ins like chocolate chips or fruit for added flavor.
