Make quick, portable breakfast treats by turning your favorite pancake mix into fluffy muffins. This recipe avoids flipping pancakes and is perfect for meal prep or grab-and-go mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups pancake mix (like Krusteaz or Kodiak Cakes)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (if your mix does not contain it)
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips, or cooked sausage crumbles)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, sugar (if using), and baking powder.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter or oil until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy muffins.
  5. Fold in your chosen mix-ins, such as blueberries or chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. For mini muffins, reduce baking time to 10-12 minutes.
  8. Let the pancake muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a high protein pancake muffins version, use a protein-fortified pancake mix or add one scoop of unflavored protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • These are excellent for meal prep breakfast ideas; store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them for later use.
  • If you prefer sausage pancake muffins, cook and crumble 1/2 cup of breakfast sausage and fold it into the batter before baking.
