Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour (can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

3/4 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-Ins (Optional)

1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk)
1 medium banana (sliced or mashed)
1/2 cup strawberries (chopped)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt ensuring an even distribution.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined to avoid over-mixing, which can toughen the poppers.
Add Mix-Ins: Fold in your favorite mix-ins such as blueberries, chocolate chips, banana slices or mash, and chopped strawberries to the batter for added flavor and texture.
Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin cavities, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pancake poppers to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before gently removing them to prevent breakage. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

You can easily customize these poppers with your favorite fruits or chocolate chips depending on your taste preference.
Use gluten-free flour to make the recipe gluten-free.
Since these are baked in a mini muffin tin, avoid overfilling to prevent batter overflow.
To reheat, warm them briefly in a toaster oven or microwave.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter to prevent discoloring the batter.
