Fluffy Bite-sized Pancakes (Printable Version)

Fluffy, bite-sized pancakes baked in mini muffin tins – perfect for dipping in syrup and enjoying on busy mornings or lazy brunches.

# Ingredients:

→ Batter Base

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 1/2 cups milk
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and thoroughly grease a mini muffin pan.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy for fluffier poppers.
05 - Using a spoon or small scoop, fill each mini muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
06 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until the poppers are golden brown and puffed up.
07 - Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm with maple syrup or jam for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - These pancake poppers can be customized with mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon.
02 - For gluten-free version, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
03 - The key to fluffy poppers is not overmixing the batter - some lumps are good!
04 - This recipe can be easily doubled and freezes beautifully for meal prep.
