Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups Milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup Blueberries or chocolate chips or sliced bananas or strawberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. This ensures that the leavening agents and sugar are well distributed for consistent texture.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough pancakes; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Add Mix-Ins: If using, fold in the optional mix-ins such as blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or strawberries carefully to avoid breaking them apart.
  5. Preheat and Grease the Pan: Heat a non-stick pancake popper pan or a mini muffin pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the Pancake Poppers: Spoon the batter into the pan’s cavities filling them about three-quarters full. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form and the edges look set, then carefully flip each popper using a fork or small spatula for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove the pancake poppers from the pan and serve immediately with syrup, honey, fresh fruit, or your choice of toppings for a delicious breakfast experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • Use low-fat milk if you prefer a lighter version.
  • For dairy-free, substitute milk and butter with almond milk and coconut oil respectively.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the poppers fluffy and tender.
  • Cooking times may vary based on your pan and stove; monitor carefully to prevent burning.
  • These poppers can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or microwave for quick breakfast on busy mornings.
