Blueberry Muffin Mix Pancakes Recipe
While I usually love baking from scratch, I’m also a huge fan of using easy kitchen hacks when it comes to building kitchen confidence with kids or making meal prep ahead of a busy week a little bit easier.
With my daughter’s busy athletic schedule, I often find myself heating up pre-made breakfast wraps on busy mornings, so when I have a bit more time on Sunday I like to prep a few easy breakfast options for heat-and-eat, grab-and-go options like today’s muffin mix pancakes.
While you can often find different flavors of pancake mix, there are soooo many more options when it comes to muffin mix – lemon poppyseed, triple berry, banana nut, double chocolate, cinnamon sugar, etc etc.
Today’s easy Blueberry Muffin Mix Pancakes have all of the flavors of both blueberry muffins and syrup-soaked pancakes in one easy breakfast. Tender, light pancakes with bursts of sweet-tart blueberries throughout and slightly crispy edges. It’s a great option for both busy weekends when you want something warm and indulgent, despite having a million errands, or a quick heat-and-heat option to prep ahead on busy weekday mornings.
We tried out this method of making muffin mix pancakes with a few different brands: Betty Crocker, Martha White, Jiffy and Quaker. To use the same increments as us, you want a 6-8oz package of muffin mix. (If you need to use a bigger container, increase the milk and egg to balance it out, or measure out 6-8oz using a digital scale.)
Muffin Mix Pancake Tips:
- Add in additional mix-ins like vanilla extract, cocoa powder, nuts, cinnamon, sprinkles, etc.
- To bump up the protein, you can use a protein-rich milk (like Fairlife) or add in a scoop of protein powder to the mix.
- For thinner crepe-like pancakes, skip the eggs.
- Avoid the urge to press down on the pancakes with your spatula (like you would with a burger) – this will prevent them from getting fluffy.
Do muffin mix pancakes taste like regular pancakes? Muffin mix pancakes aren’t as light and fluffy as from-scratch pancakes and they are slightly sweeter and richer, and the edges get a little crispy/caramelized from the additional sugar.
How to store leftover muffin mix pancakes: leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
Can I freeze leftover muffin mix pancakes? Yes! These pancakes can be stored in an airtight ziptop freezer bag or your favorite freezer containers and frozen for up to a month. (This set of freezer containers is a crazy bargain.) You may want to separate the individual pancakes with squares of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.

I adore the idea of making pancakes using a blueberry muffin mix; it’s such a unique take on breakfast! The idea of “homemade” pancakes with several muffin flavors is fantastic for children.
