Easy Breakfast Pancake Poppers are fluffy, bite-sized pancake treats baked in a mini muffin tin and filled with fun surprises like fruit, chocolate chips, or sausage. They’re perfect for busy mornings or snack time.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • Optional fillings: blueberries, mini chocolate chips, diced strawberries, cooked sausage pieces, banana chunks
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, or yogurt for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter or oil.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until just smooth — do not overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.
  6. Add your chosen fillings into the center of each batter-filled cup.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm with syrup or your favorite topping.

Notes

  • Mix and match fillings in one batch for fun variety.
  • Use buttermilk for an extra fluffy texture.
  • Whole wheat flour can be used for a healthier twist.
