Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar (or buttermilk)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 egg
- Preheat and prepare muffin tins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease mini muffin tins using cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the wet mixture: In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar, allowing it to sit for 5 minutes until it curdles slightly, creating a buttermilk substitute. Then whisk in the oil and egg thoroughly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate larger bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir gently until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Fill muffin cups: Using a spoon, scoop about one tablespoon of batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them evenly.
- Bake the poppers: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8 minutes, or until the poppers are puffed, pale golden, and fully set.
- Cool and serve: Remove from oven and let the pancake poppers cool slightly before gently removing from the tins. Serve warm and enjoy as a fun breakfast or snack option.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of milk and vinegar.
- Customize your poppers by adding chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon to the batter.
- Ensure not to overfill the muffin tins to prevent batter overflow.
- If you don’t have mini muffin tins, regular muffins can be made but will require longer baking time.
- Serve with syrup, honey, or your favorite toppings for added sweetness.
