FAQs

Can I make pancake poppers without a mini muffin pan?

A mini muffin pan works best for shaping and baking the poppers evenly, but if you don’t have one, you can use silicone baking cups or even a regular muffin tin, although the shape and size will differ.

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the batter up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Give it a gentle stir before scooping into the pan to ensure even consistency.
