Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Optional Mix-ins and Toppings

  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries (optional)
  • Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or honey for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Don’t overmix—some lumps are okay!
  3. Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full. If you’re adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or berries, drop them into each cup before baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before taking them out of the tin.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or dip in honey for extra sweetness. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancake poppers light and fluffy.
  • Use buttermilk for the best flavor and texture; alternatively, regular milk mixed with vinegar works as a good substitute.
  • Be sure to grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
  • For variation, try adding other mix-ins like chopped nuts or small fruit pieces.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
