Can You Use Muffin Mix to Make Pancakes?
Absolutely! Muffin mix works great for pancakes since it hast most of the same stuff as regular pancake batter — like flour, sugar, and all the essentials.
All you need to do is mix in a little milk, an egg, and some oil. It’s such a lifesaver when you’re in a pinch, and the best part? You can play around with different muffin mixes, like blueberry pancakes or chocolate chip pancakes, and make breakfast feel a little more special.
How to Turn Muffin Mix into Pancakes
Most muffin mixes require additional ingredients like eggs, milk, or oil.
Add ¾ cup of milk for every 7-8 oz package of mix. The batter may be thicker than regular pancake batter. Add small amounts of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
Include one large egg for fluffier pancakes.
Use a tablespoon of oil or melted butter for added moisture.
Combine the ingredients until just mixed. Pancake batter should be slightly lumpy — overmixing can make your pancakes dense.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden. Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
Yes! Gluten-free muffin mix works perfectly for pancakes. Just follow the same recipe and enjoy.
Let pancakes cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Take your pancakes to the next level with a dollop of creamy apple butter or a drizzle of sweet blueberry syrup.
