Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, or diced strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter to ensure easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula. Be careful not to overmix—small lumps are okay!
- If adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or berries, gently fold them into the batter.
- Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter (don’t overfill, as the poppers will rise).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the poppers cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then gently remove them using a small spatula or knife.
- Serve warm with butter, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
