Pancake and Waffle Mix

We always used the box mixes to make our pancakes and waffles for breakfast for convenience. However, those are really expensive when you think about what is actually in the box. Plus, you only need 4 ingredients to make homemade pancake mix and waffle mix.

The best part is that you can make the same delicious pancakes for your family for half the cost. Which makes a quick and easy breakfast recipe.

Why Make Your Own Pancake & Waffle Mix?

Ingredients

• Flour – Base to make the waffle and pancake mix. You can also use whole grain flour
• Baking Powder – Leavening agent
• Sugar – Adds a hint of sweetness
• Salt – Helps to balance out the flavors

Variations Ideas

• Use Gluten-Free Flour – If you are on a gluten free diet or have a gluten sensitivity, you can use one to one gluten free flour in this recipe instead of all purpose flour.
• Use Water Instead of Milk. – If you are on a diary free diet, you can use water instead of milk to make the batter. The pancakes and waffles will not be as fluffy as when milk is used but will still taste great. Feel free to also use oat milk.
• Make Eggless Pancakes. – You can use applesauce or mashed bananas instead of eggs in this easy buttermilk pancake recipe. Use ¼ cup of either of these to replace each egg. If you use mashed bananas your pancakes will have a slight banana flavor.
• Savory Pancakes – For rich and savory flavors you can easily add in cooked sausage to the pancake mix. This is perfect for busy mornings because it makes a complete breakfast idea.

Recipe Tips

Topping Ideas

Now that you have made the best homemade pancake and waffles, here are some of our favorite topping ideas!

• Maple Syrup – It’s a classic topping and everyone loves it.
• Whipped Cream and Chocolate Chips – Kids love topping homemade waffles with something a little extra sweet.
• Cinnamon and Sugar – My daughter loves topping waffles with this mixture.
• Fresh Berries – Fruit is always amazing on these as well.

How to Make Pancakes and Waffles Fluffy

• Use Fresh Ingredients. Make sure that the ingredients that you use to make this mix are not expired and are fresh. Old ingredients will make flat pancakes.
• Do Not Over Mix. Make sure that you do not over mix your batter when making pancakes or waffles.
• Use Oil not Butter to Grease your Pan. Butter can easily burn so I always make sure to use grease to oil the waffle oil or griddle which adds moisture.

Serving Suggestions

I love serving these pancakes or waffles from my favorite fresh fruit salad and bacon.

Learn how to cook bacon in the oven. This is my favorite way to make bacon because it’s easy and doesn’t make as big as a mess.
