Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup fruit preserves, chocolate chips, or diced fruit (for filling)
- 1 as needed cooking spray or muffin liners
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin, or line it with muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Spoon a tablespoon of batter into the bottom of each muffin cup, spreading it to cover the base.
Add a teaspoon of your chosen filling (e.g., fruit preserves, chocolate chips, or diced fruit) to the center of each cup.
Top each filling with another scoop of batter, ensuring the filling is completely covered and each cup is about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are light golden and a toothpick inserted near the edge (not the center where the filling is) comes out clean.
Allow the pancake muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the surprise inside!
