Pancake Poppers are a fun and fluffy twist on traditional pancakes, baked in mini muffin tins for easy, grab-and-go bites. Ready in 30 minutes, they’re perfect for busy mornings, meal prep, or cozy brunches with endless sweet and savory customization options.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 mini pancake poppers

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup milk

2 large eggs

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup blueberries, chocolate chips, diced banana, or chopped strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until combined; lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in any desired mix-ins gently.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with batter, adding more mix-ins on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes (or 15–18 minutes for regular muffin tins), until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then loosen and serve warm with maple syrup or powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest with blueberries for a bright flavor.
  • Use mashed banana and cinnamon for banana bread-style poppers.
  • Make savory poppers by omitting sugar and vanilla and adding cheese or scallions.
  • Store in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
