Convert your leftover or current dry muffin mix into quick, fluffy pancakes using this simple ratio adjustment. Make breakfast fast with this easy pancake recipe using mix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dry muffin mix (any flavor)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk (or water, adjust as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter (optional, for richer flavor)

Instructions

  1. Measure 1 cup of your dry muffin mix into a medium bowl.
  2. Whisk in 1 large egg and start adding the milk, about 1/4 cup at a time.
  3. Whisk until the batter is smooth but still slightly lumpy. The goal is a thinner consistency than standard muffin batter; it should pour easily off a spoon, similar to regular pancake batter.
  4. If the batter is too thick, add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired pourable consistency is reached. This is the key step for pancake texture adjustments.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. The surface is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour batter onto the hot griddle to form pancakes of your desired size.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You know the pancake is ready to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  9. Serve immediately for the fastest way to make pancakes.

Notes

  • For Blueberry Muffin Mix Pancakes, the blueberries will cook fine, but they may sink slightly more than in muffins.
  • If using Chocolate Chip Muffin Pancakes, the chocolate chips may melt faster, so monitor the heat closely to prevent burning.
  • If your batter seems gummy after resting, add another splash of milk to loosen it up.
  • This conversion works well for shortcut pancake batter using various baking mix variations.
