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

  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 the pancake poppers from sticking during baking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter, whisking until smooth. Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light; some lumps are perfectly fine.
  3. Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about three-quarters full with the batter. If using, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or blueberries into each muffin cup before baking to add bursts of flavor.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the pancake poppers to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancake poppers warm. Dust them with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or dip in honey for an extra sweet touch. Enjoy these bite-sized treats as a fun and delicious breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Substitute buttermilk with regular milk plus 1 tsp vinegar if buttermilk is unavailable.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy and tender pancake poppers.
  • Add mix-ins like mini chocolate chips or blueberries for added flavor.
  • Allow the poppers to cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin to avoid breaking.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
