These fluffy, bite-sized Breakfast Pancake Poppers are a fun twist on classic pancakes — perfect for dipping, snacking, or packing into lunchboxes.
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup milk (any kind)
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter or oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup optional mix-ins (berries, chocolate chips, sausage)
Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a mini muffin tin.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, butter, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed.
Fold in optional mix-ins.
Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 3/4 full.
Bake 10–13 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly before serving with syrup or dips.
Use a cookie scoop for easy portioning. Freeze extras for meal prep. For savory versions, omit sugar and vanilla and add cheese or meat.
