Pancake Poppers are bite-sized, fluffy mini pancakes baked in a muffin tin, perfect for a fun breakfast or snack. They feature a tender batter with optional chocolate chips or blueberries, baked to golden perfection and served with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or honey for a delightful treat.

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

Add-ins (Optional)

  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries

For Serving

  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar
  • Honey

Instructions

  1. 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, ensuring the pancake poppers don’t stick after baking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. It’s important not to overmix as some lumps will help keep the batter light and fluffy.
  3. Fill the Muffin Tin: Use a spoon or small scoop to fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full with batter. If you’d like to add chocolate chips or blueberries, drop them into each muffin cup after filling the batter.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and 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 the poppers cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Dust the pancake poppers with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or serve with honey to add extra sweetness. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Buttermilk can be substituted with regular milk plus 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice to mimic acidity.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep it fluffy and tender.
  • Use mini chocolate chips or small blueberries so they stay evenly distributed in the poppers.
  • Ensure the muffin tin is well-greased to avoid sticking.
  • These poppers are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a toaster oven.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
