Breakfast Pancake Poppers

Delicious and fluffy pancake poppers filled with fresh berries, perfect for lazy weekend mornings or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup flour (can substitute with gluten-free blend)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (can reduce or substitute)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (almond or plant-based options work)
  • 1 large egg (can substitute with a flax egg for vegan)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (can use vegan butter or oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (can omit or substitute with almond extract)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (for drizzling)
  • 1 cup fresh berries (choose from blueberries or strawberries)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin or popover pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
  3. In another bowl, thoroughly mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the poppers to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and drizzling with maple syrup.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes or microwave for 15-20 seconds.
