  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  3. Step 3: In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Gently combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring just until mixed—do not overmix to keep the batter fluffy.
  5. Step 5: Scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, fold in blueberries or chocolate chips before baking.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  • Use a mini muffin pan to get perfectly sized pancake poppers that cook evenly.

Storage

Store any leftover pancake poppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To extend their shelf life, freeze extras in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month. Reheat them gently in the oven or microwave before serving for best results.
