Description

These Breakfast Pancake Poppers are a fun and easy morning treat perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. Miniature pancake batter cups are baked in a muffin pan to golden perfection, making them easy to serve and enjoy. Flavored with vanilla and butter, they are fluffy, delicious, and kid-friendly.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and gently stir until just blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
  5. Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin cavities, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake the Poppers: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the pancake poppers cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancake poppers tender and fluffy.
  • You can add mini chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for variation.
  • Serve with syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt for a complete breakfast.
  • These poppers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in a microwave or oven.
