Pop Up Muffins
This was such a fun and easy breakfast to make for my family. I will go back to this one again and again because of the ease and which it comes together. These Pop Up Muffins, as we called them, also known as German Pancakes are so great for a busy morning when you don’t have time for something more labor intensive, or maybe don’t have a lot of groceries on hand. I know that 95% off the time I will always have the ingredients to make this one. And honestly, I get tired of cereal every morning. Thanks, Marie, for sharing this one. I love the idea of German Pancakes in muffin tins. They are super cute that way!
Pop Up Muffins

makes 24 muffins
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup flour
- 6 eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- dash salt
- 1 tsp vanilla

- assorted condiments for serving
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Blend milk through orange zest in a blender. Grease muffin tins and distribute batter evenly between 24 muffin. Bake for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top. I served these topped with maple syrup and slice strawberries with a little sprinkle of powdered sugar.

This is one of the first recipes that I ever learned how to make, but it never occurred to me to do them in muffin tins. Great idea, thanks.

was I supposed to mix the butter into the batter or grease the pan with it?

Mix it in. It says to blend the milk through zest – that’s everything but your condiments.
