Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted butter (divided for greasing muffin tin)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Toppings (optional)
- Fresh fruit
- Syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Your favorite pancake toppings
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the pancake poppers evenly.
- Prepare Batter: In a blender, combine 6 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend on high for 3-5 minutes until the batter is smooth and the eggs are well beaten.
- Grease Muffin Tin: Pour about 1/2 teaspoon of melted butter into the bottom of each muffin cup to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Fill and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into each muffin cavity, filling them mostly full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the sides puff up and become golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pancake poppers from the oven and serve hot. Top with fresh fruit, syrup, powdered sugar, or any favorite pancake toppings you like.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- For extra fluffy poppers, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites before folding them back into the batter.
- Make sure to grease each muffin hole well to avoid sticking.
- Try adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for added flavor.
- Leftover pancake poppers can be reheated in a toaster oven or microwave.
