These Pancake Poppers are a fun and delicious twist on classic pancakes, baked in mini muffin tins to create bite-sized, fluffy treats perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar (or use buttermilk)
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare muffin tins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease mini muffin tins thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the wet mixture: In a bowl, combine the milk and vinegar, then let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it curdles, creating a buttermilk substitute. Stir in the oil and the egg until well combined.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and sugar.
  4. Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, forming a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
  5. Fill the muffin cups: Using a spoon, scoop about one tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them nearly full to ensure a nice puff.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the poppers have puffed up and are pale golden. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.
  7. Cool and remove: Using a silicone scraper or a small spatula, gently lift the pancake poppers out of the tin and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Using vinegar with milk mimics buttermilk which helps create a tender crumb and slight tang.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
  • Make sure to grease the mini muffin tins very well to easily remove the poppers.
  • These poppers can be served with syrup, fruit, or your favorite toppings.
  • They are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
