Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Extra maple syrup for dipping
  • Powdered sugar for dusting


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, large egg, melted unsalted butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the fluffiness of the poppers.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until the poppers are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the pancake poppers to cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm with extra maple syrup for dipping or dusted with powdered sugar for added sweetness.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure the poppers stay tender and fluffy.
  • Use a toothpick to check doneness; it should come out clean.
  • Greasing the mini muffin tin well helps with easy removal.
  • These poppers can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast.
  • Optional toppings like fresh berries or whipped cream can enhance the flavor.
