Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined (lumps are okay).
Fold in mix-ins of choice.
Scoop batter into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Optionally, top with extra mix-ins.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and serve warm with maple syrup or powdered sugar.

Notes

Add lemon zest and blueberries for a fresh twist.
Try rainbow sprinkles and almond extract for birthday-style bites.
For savory poppers, omit sugar and vanilla, and add cheese and green onions.
Make in a regular muffin tin for larger poppers—bake a few minutes longer.
Freezer-friendly and great for meal prep.
