Ingredients & Substitutions
- Box of pancake mix - You can use any store-bought pancake mix, or use the dry ingredients from a homemade pancake mix which is essentially a mixture of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
- White sugar - You can substitute brown sugar or even maple syrup, but I recommend using white sugar when possible.
- Large eggs
- Regular milk
- Vegetable oil
- Fresh blueberries - If you don't want blueberry muffins, substitute different flavors of other fresh fruit such as ripe bananas. Slightly reduce the volume used if substituting smaller mix-ins, like mini chocolate chips.
- Optional - You can customize the flavor by adding vanilla extract or a little bit of lemon zest, as well as your favorite toppings.
How to make them
To make the muffin recipe with pancake mix begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees and greasing a muffin pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl combine pancake mix, and sugar. Then form a well in the center of the mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, and vegetable oil. Then pour these wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Add any mix-ins at this time, then gently fold everything together with a spatula.
Pour the muffin mixture into the wells of a muffin pan, filling each well ⅔ full. Then place the muffins in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover pancake muffins in an airtight container, or cover in plastic wrap for up to one week. They can be left at room temperature for storage.
