They’re easy to whip up for a birthday celebration, or a Saturday morning. Kids and kids-at-heart all love cake-mix pancakes!
Easy Breakfast Treat
These pancakes are so versatile. Choose a cake mix, choose the mix-ins, change it up every time! Make a batch and store leftovers in the fridge to reheat the next day. These pancakes are great for a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Cake mix pancakes can even be frozen. Just place a piece of waxed paper between each pancake before putting them in a zippered bag with the date written on it.
Ingredients & Variations
These homemade cake mix pancakes are easy to make and use simple ingredients! DRY Basic pantry staples like flour and baking powder are used in this recipe. WET Vegetable oil, milk, vanilla, and eggs are all added to create this easy pancake mix. CAKE MIX I use a white cake mix but any cake mix works; chocolate, red velvet, funfetti, or even lemon flavor will work great. SPRINKLES Choose a good quality sprinkle so the colors don’t run and only stir them in at the end (Sweetapolita are my favorite). The smaller nonpareils (the ones that are tiny) tend to run.

Tips
For fluffy pancakes, just barely mix the batter. Small lumps are okay and will disperse as they are cooking, allowing for more air to be cooked into the pancake! Gently fold in the sprinkles or other goodies just before cooking so they are cooked into the pancake and the colors don’t run. Use good quality sprinkles to preserve the color. Pan release works better than butter or oil for greasing the skillet or griddle.
