Pancake mix muffins are easy to make and are great for a quick on-the-go breakfast or snack. Made with pancake mix and a few simple ingredients, these muffins can be made in less than 30 minutes.
We love using mixes for a variety of recipes like cake mix waffles, brownie mix cookies, and cake mix banana bread.
These pancake muffins are great for a quick breakfast or snack. Now that school has started I don’t have time to make pancakes every morning so these muffins are perfect for them to grab and go.
Ingredient needed for pancake muffins
Pancake mix – You can use your favorite pancake mix but you will still add eggs and milk even if the mix box says just water.
Milk – Use your preferred milk. I used 2% milk for this recipe.
Eggs – 2 eggs
Sugar – Granulated sugar. If you prefer less sugar, feel free to reduce to 1/4 cup.
Vanilla – Adds a touch of sweetness to the muffins.
Mini chocolate chips – These are optional but I love the sweetness they add. You could replace with blueberries, chopped apples. sprinkles or even bacon bits.

This is such a great breakfast idea. We need to make healthier breakfasts. My family usually just eats whatever leftovers we have in the fridge. I will have to make these muffins for them so that we can all enjoy it together
