  • Author: Christine
  • Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Optional Fillings:

  • Fresh blueberries
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Diced strawberries
  • Cooked and crumbled bacon
  • Shredded cheese

For Serving:

  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh fruit

Instructions

Prepare the Batter

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Make the Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—lumps are okay!

Assemble the Poppers

  1. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick mini muffin pan or pancake popper maker over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Fill the Pan: Spoon a small amount of batter into each cavity, filling halfway.
  3. Add Fillings: Add a few blueberries, chocolate chips, or your chosen filling into each cavity, then top with a little more batter.

Cook the Poppers

  1. Cook on the Stovetop: Cover the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden and the tops begin to set.
  2. Flip and Finish: Use a skewer or small spatula to gently flip each popper and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.

Cool and Serve

  1. Cool Slightly: Remove the poppers from the pan and let them cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Serve: Arrange on a platter and serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
