Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For gluten-free, substitute a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Reduce to 2 tablespoons for less sweetness.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Ensure it's fresh for best lift.
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or neutral plant milk) Oat or soy milk works well.
  • 2 large eggs Can substitute with applesauce for a vegan option.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted Or use neutral oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or thawed from frozen) Do not thaw completely if using frozen.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Use dairy-free chips if needed.
  • 1 medium banana, mashed or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup strawberries, chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the 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 the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  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 until just combined; a few small lumps are fine.
  5. Fold in the mashed banana, chopped strawberries, blueberries, and chocolate chips using a spatula.
  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 to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Serving
  1. Serve warm for the best texture, or cool completely before storing.

Notes

Serve these poppers warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar. These are freezer-friendly; freeze on a sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven for best texture.
