Easy Baked Pancake Muffins

Sep 30, 2020 20 Comments

Pancake muffins taste just like a pancake in muffin form, without having to worry about the flipping and cooking time of standard pancakes! (under 30-minutes)

Pancake muffins are the perfect lazy morning breakfast or afternoon snack. They taste just like a pancake in muffin form, without having to worry about the flipping and cooking time of standard pancakes!

Every few weeks I get in the mood to make pancakes and I’m quickly reminded why I get on the pancake kick every FEW weeks vs. every week. 

I’m not patient, folks. Pancakes require patience.

And as I was told my freshman year of high school in design class, “you do not have good quality control.” Guess that’s why I got a “B” in art!

Anyhow, I love everything about pancakes except for the whole process involved in making them. That was before I figured out how to make pancake muffins!

Pancake muffins are the perfect lazy morning breakfast or afternoon snack. They taste just like a pancake in muffin form, without having to worry about the flipping and cooking time of standard pancakes!

Yep, you heard right. Pancake muffins. They are the perfect lazy morning breakfast or afternoon snack!

All you do is simply take your favorite pancake mix [store bought or homemade], pancake mix-in’s [think chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, cinnamon, etc.], an extra egg or two [depending on how fluffy you want them], and voila!

Put the mix in a muffin tin pan and bake for about 15 minutes. Much easier than standing over your stovetop waiting for those bubbles and flipping those hot cakes, am I right?!

Pancake muffins are the perfect lazy morning breakfast or afternoon snack. They taste just like a pancake in muffin form, without having to worry about the flipping and cooking time of standard pancakes!

Unless you’re into that kind of thing and making pancakes brings you joy! For me, it brings stress and bad memories of design class….

Keep in mind depending on the type of mix you use, you’ll likely get a different result in the shape or height of the muffin. And if you think your family won’t finish a batch in one sitting, then freeze a few and reheat in the microwave for busy weekday mornings.

Pancakes in a flash! Again, without the flipping and turning… and nightmares of design class!

    I used 1 egg in the blueberry version that I made and mine didn’t turn out like the picture…they were flat and had a matte finish to them. Pancake mix is also significantly less sweet then muffins usually are, so a bit of sugar or sugar substitute is a good idea. I will try again because I like the concept!

    I wanted to make this and when I googled “can I make muffins using pancake batter” I came up with your post so will definitely try this tomorrow. I have a recipe that calls for soaking rolled oats overnight so tomorrow I will try this. Thanks so much.

    I made mine with bacon and sausage I had previously cooked. I added three chocolate chips per muffin. They were a hit!

    Just made these because I wanted something sweet and cakey so I googled what else can I use pancake mix for because I ran out of syrup. Well this recipe came up and I had all the ingredients I followed instructions on the box for the pancake mix to serve 12-14 people because my muffin pan hold 12 used a little bit less water because I added the egg and I didn’t want soupy mix sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar in because mix is not sweet then I sprayed my pan spooned in 2 tablespoon of mix then added my indulgent trail mix from Walmart which has cashews almonds peanuts white chocolate and peanut butter drops cranberries and rasins to each muffin then spooned one spoon of mix over it and popped then in the oven for about 15mins. They came out beautiful and tasted delicious. So good with a little butter also so good with syrup. Now that I know it’s so simple I’m gonng to try other ingredients. Great recipe thanks

    I usually make pancakes with ground oats, but I would not recommend that for this! I had to leave them in for much longer than 25 minutes, and they ended up still not fully cooked in the middle even though they were burnt on the outside. Just a word of warning for any other oat-pancake lovers!

    Yes! These are in the oven now, and look beautiful with freshly picked blackberries and blueberries. If they’re not sweet enough, I’ll just dip my muffins in syrup 🙂

    This was a great recipe i used mini choc chips and actually took a toothpick and stirred the chips in each muffin for better distribution, this way it wouldnt lump together on top

    Can I put a little jam in the muffin prior to baking? Like put in some batter, then a little strawberry jam, then more batter?

    Omg! Big hit at my house. I hate making breakfast and we usually just have cereal but these were quick so I gave it a go. I used cherry pie filling, strawberry pie filling, and grape jelly in different batches (there are 8 of us so I wanted to make a lot). Each flavor is wonderful!

    I wondered about the same in terms of turning out flat, although if you use an extra egg it appears they will turn out fluffy.
