Tips & Variations

• For added flavor, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter before baking.
• Use buttermilk instead of milk for extra fluffy poppers.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warming spice touch.
• Make these ahead and freeze them; reheat quickly in a toaster oven for a fresh taste.

Storage

Store any leftover pancake poppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster oven or microwave until heated through. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month and reheat from frozen.

FAQs

Can I make these without eggs?

Yes, you can substitute one egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) or use a commercial egg replacer to keep the recipe vegan-friendly.

What can I use instead of a mini muffin pan?

If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, you can use a regular muffin tin for larger poppers or even bake spoonfuls on a lined baking sheet for a pancake bite alternative, though cooking times may vary.
