Ingredients

• Pancake Mix: here you can use your favorite store-bought pancake mix. I have tried several brands and they all turn out great. Or, try making your own homemade pancake mix and keep on hand to have delicious pancakes or muffins whenever!
• Sugar: use regular granulated sugar for this recipe. You can reduce the sugar by half to make these less sweet.
• Eggs: large room temperature eggs work best.
• Milk: use whatever milk you have on hand. I usually use two percent, but skim or almond milk all work great.
• Oil: use a neutral-flavored oil like canola or vegetable oil here.
• Vanilla: I like to sweet up the flavor of these muffins with a bit of vanilla extract.
• Mix Ins: here’s where you can have fun with these Pancake Mix Muffins. Use your favorite mix ins such as blueberries, mashed bananas, chocolate chips, nuts, or a variety of items to change the flavors of the muffins.

How to Make Pancake Mix Muffins

Pancake Mix Muffins come together fast and don’t require any additional dry ingredients. This recipe will make 12 standard-sized muffins.

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners or spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Step 1: combine the wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla until well combined. No need to use a hand mixer here.

Step 2: add in the pancake mix

Next, add in your favorite pancake mix. You can use store-bought or homemake pancake mix for this recipe. Mix until just combined, being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Step 3: add in the mix ins

Now you can customize your pancake mix muffins using a cup of whatever toppings your prefer. You could also divide the batter and make two different flavors of muffins. For a classic muffin, just leave the mix ins out.

Step 4: bake

Bake the muffins in a preheated oven for about 22 minutes on the center oven rack. You will know the muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in them comes out clean.

Let the pancake mix muffins cool on a rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Muffins with Pancake Mix

To make chocolate chip muffins with pancake mix, follow the recipe instructions and then fold in one cup of chocolate chips. I like the use the semi-sweet chocolate chips and prefer mini chocolate chips whenever I have them.
