FAQs
Can I make these pancake poppers dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk like almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free butter to keep them dairy-free.
Can I prepare the batter the night before?
It’s best to make the batter fresh, but you can mix it the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Give it a gentle stir before scooping into the muffin pan and baking.
