I saw a pin on Pinterest that showed muffins made from pancake mix. It suggested using your favorite box mix, adding whatever toppings you desire, and baking them in muffin tins in the oven. I was drawn to the idea, because my kids love pancakes, but I don’t always love standing in the kitchen at the griddle flipping pancakes.
I used my favorite Mutigrain Baking and Pancake Mix from Trader Joes. If you do not have a Trader Joes nearby, another favorite pancake mix of mine is this one from Bob Mill.
Mix according to your pancake mix directions. The mix I used called for eggs, oil & milk.
Takes just seconds to mix up. My kind of recipe!
I decided to sprinkle mine with frozen raspberries and blueberries. The original source for this idea topped some of hers with bacon, some with chocolate chips, some with fruit…you can get creative with these if you want to.
My girls devoured these. They loved them! Honestly, they really did not need much maple syrup. We dipped them a bit the the berries gave them so much flavor that they really did not need much else.
This really is a no recipe, recipe. Just follow the directions on your mix, then bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes. I used a muffin pan that is only half the depth of most muffin pans which were the perfect size, so I bakes mine for abut 8 minutes.
I plan on making a triple batch and freezing them. They would make great after school snacks. I love a health food that can double as breakfast and a snack!

May 10, 2013 at 5:15 pmI know my kids would also like these, but I have a really easy pancake recipe, so I make mine from scratch. What size the box of mix that you used? Do you know how many cups the mix makes? Would like to try to recreate them with my own recipe. Thanks!
