Make Your Own Homemade Pancake Mix

by

Jump to Recipe

Have you tried to make your own homemade pancake mix? It’s so simple and the pancakes turn out wonderful. Sure, I know there are times when life is crazy and you’re feeling frazzled, so a box of packaged pancake mix makes the most sense, but seriously…give it a try.

With just a tiny bit of planning, you can make up a dry mix and it will give you enough for a couple mornings of homemade pancakes. And it will cost you very little to do so. It’s also a great gift-in-a-jar idea.

Cooking Equipment Needed for Homemade Pancake Mix:

Cooking Equipment Needed for Pancake batter:

Grab a bowl and with just a few ingredients — flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar — you have your pancake mix. I store mine in an air-tight glass jar, but you could store it in whatever works best for you.

When you are ready to make a batch of pancakes, just combine 1 cup of your DIY pancake mix, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of oil or melted butter, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Mix it all up and you have your basic pancake batter. Don’t feel like you have to stop there though…you can add in a cup of chocolate chips, some toasted coconut, 1/2 cup of peanut butter…whatever additions make you happy.

Cook them on your griddle and just like that, you have a delicious, homemade pancake!

The folks at Teflon® sent me  fun pan called a Flip-It to try out, so I made my pancakes in it.

When I flipped my Flip-It pan, one side of my pancake was imprinted with the US flag. The pan has a Teflon® nonstick coating, so my pancakes didn’t stick at all and clean up was super easy too.

I expected Mattie to notice the flag right away, but he ate his pancakes, raved about how they tasted and never mentioned the flag. After he brought his empty plate to the sink, he glanced over at the remaining pancakes and said, “there was a flag on them?”. I guess he ate them so quickly, he didn’t even notice. He did say that was “pretty cool”.

    I love butter and syrup on my pancakes, and sometimes honey. I have never used fruit topping. Chocolate chips are always fun!

    My son loves peanut butter and syrup on his…My husband and I are more traditional and like lots of butter and lots of syrup on ours!

    we like to add nutella and watch it melt over the pancakes and sometimes put peanut butter and syrup. it tastes amazing both ways.

  30. Rosemary S. says

    We love a syrup made with a little butter, half and half and brown sugar with a touch of vanilla. It tastes like the topping you find on caramel rolls. So yummy! A little fresh fruit with it and it’s a great start to your day. If you use bananas it almost tastes like Bananas Foster.
    I also follow you on FB, Twitter, and posted that I was entering this give-away. 🙂
