Funfetti Pancake Poppers
Pancakes are already amazing, right? But this simple and fun Funfetti Pancake Poppers version just makes them that much more amazing. I love love LOVE that you can bake these pancake poppers right in the oven! Makes it so much easier! You can whip up the batter, pop them in the oven, and by the time you're done brewing the coffee, breakfast will be ready to go!
Use a mini muffin pan to bake your pancake poppers quickly in the oven. Just scoop the batter into the tins with a spoon. I use a metal mini muffin pan like this one, but you could also use a silicone mini muffin pan so that you can just pop them right out.
You can also go lots of ways with toppings for these Funfetti Pancake Poppers. You can serve syrup on top like traditional pancakes or on the side for dipping. They're delicious plain too (especially with that vanilla coffee creamer. That's Mr. Gracious' amazing pancake trick. His are always delicious and fluffy. Don't tell him I gave away his trade secret!), so for less mess you can leave them bare for on-the-go. You can even toss them together with some berries, yogurt, or whipped cream for a simple parfait.
However you serve these Funfetti Pancake Poppers, your kids will them! (And you will too! Seriously, who doesn't love funfetti?!)

Do you think I could get away with replacing the vanilla coffee creamer with just heavy cream or milk and some vanilla? Or is there some other component in it as well? I'm not sure coffee creamer is a thing here where I live. I absolutely love this idea of these little poppers out of the oven though and would SO like to try them.

You could definitely do that. The creamer just has a more out-of-the-box funfetti cake mix flavor. I have also used 1/8 teaspoon of almond extract, to give them the funfetti flavor with 1 teaspoon vanilla. And surprisingly, organic soy milk instead creamer. I think people would be surprised at how much soy flavor comes through in the box cake mixes, and that's the flavor that's always "missing" from homemade cakes and pancakes!
