Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Optional Mix-ins
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries
For Serving
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or honey
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; some lumps are fine.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Use a spoon or small scoop to fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full. If using mix-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries, add them into each cup before baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
- Serve and Enjoy: Dust the pancake poppers with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or dip in honey for extra sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Using buttermilk gives the poppers a tangy flavor and tender texture; if unavailable, regular milk with vinegar works well.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the poppers light and fluffy.
- Feel free to customize the mix-ins with your favorite berries or nuts.
- These poppers are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
