Breakfast Pancake Poppers

Delightful, poppable pancake bites perfect for breakfast or a snack, versatile and loved by kids.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 cup blueberries, mini chocolate chips, or diced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay to have some lumps!
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins like blueberries or mini chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Spoon the batter into the mini muffin cups, filling them about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm, drizzled with syrup, topped with fresh fruit, or dusted with powdered sugar.

Notes

These poppers can be made with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist and stored in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator or a month in the freezer.
