Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup pancake mix
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (plus more for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin thoroughly to prevent the poppers from sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Carefully fill each cup of the mini muffin tin about three-quarters full with the prepared batter to allow room for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the poppers turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove the poppers from the tin and serve them warm with additional maple syrup or a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure the mini muffin tin is well greased to make removing the poppers easy.
- Use real maple syrup for the best flavor in both the batter and for dipping.
- These poppers can be made ahead and gently reheated in the oven before serving.
- For a fun twist, add mini chocolate chips or berries to the batter before baking.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on desired sweetness.
