Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Reduce to 3 tablespoons for less sweetness
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup milk (whole or 2% preferred) Plant milk is fine for dairy-free
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted Substitute with neutral oil for dairy-free
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1 medium banana, mashed or thinly sliced Use ripe banana for sweetness
  • 1 cup blueberries Fresh or thawed from frozen and patted dry
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Reserve some for topping if desired
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped Chop to similar size as blueberries

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin or line it with mini paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Small lumps in the batter are fine.
  5. Fold in the mashed banana, chopped strawberries, blueberries, and chocolate chips by hand so the fruit remains fragile and intact.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini cups, filling each about three quarters full.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden.
  2. Let the poppers cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
