Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • ½ cup blueberries or diced fruit (optional)
  • Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or line with mini muffin liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to create your dry ingredients for the pancake poppers.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until fully combined for the wet ingredients.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay for your pancake bites.
  5. If desired, gently fold in mini chocolate chips or diced fruit into the pancake batter.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tins, filling each mold about 2/3 full for your mini pancake balls.
  7. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Once baked, let the pancake poppers cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. Serve the breakfast pancake poppers warm, optionally drizzled with maple syrup.
