Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • Fresh or frozen berries (for Berry Burst variation)
  • Mini chocolate chips (for Chocolate Chip Delight)
  • Mashed bananas and chopped walnuts (for Banana Walnut)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined. This ensures the poppers rise evenly and have balanced taste.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. This mixture adds moisture and flavor to the batter.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep batter light and fluffy.
  4. Add extras: Fold in any optional fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips to customize your poppers as desired.
  5. Cook the poppers: Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin or mini cake pop mold. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden and springy to the touch.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the poppers cool slightly before removing from the tin or mold. Serve warm with syrup, honey, or fresh fruit toppings.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter to maintain a light texture and prevent dense poppers.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother and more even batter blending.
  • Grease your pan well with oil or butter to prevent sticking and achieve golden edges.
  • Test bake time as ovens vary; check poppers around 12 minutes for perfect doneness.
  • Keep poppers warm in a low oven while finishing the batch for freshest taste.
