The ultimate grab & go breakfast!
Baked Pancake muffins are a super fun way to eat pancakes. They offer the great grab & go convenience of a muffin, with the yummy flavors of a pancake. Usually on Sundays I will make a couple tins of these yummy Baked Pancake Muffins. (….with some help from my favorite Family Fresh Meal helpers of course.)
Now this is when these pancake muffins get fun. MIX-INs! The sky is the limit. Blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips, bacon, sausage and cheese, cinnamon sugar, raisins, nuts, etc.
- Big D’s favorites are chocolate chips or bacon.
- Little D and I LOVE the sausage and cheese.
- Darryl’s favorite are the cinnamon sugar and the blueberry mix ins.
Have fun experimenting with different flavors! And if you find a delicious combo, please report back! What are your favorites?
Easy Baked Pancake Muffins
- Make about 16-18 muffins
- 2 cups pancake mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- optional mix-ins
- Preheat oven to 350° Next, mix together pancake mix, milk, eggs and 1/2 cup of maple syrup.
- Either spray muffin tin with nonstick spray or use muffin liners. Fill 2/3 of the way full. If you are using the mix-ins, do so now. About 1/2 to 1 TB of a mix-in works great.
- Bake for 14-15 minutes or until a toothpick, inserted, comes out clean.
How do I store my Pancake Muffins?
- You can refrigerate in a sealed container/bag for 3-4 days. To reheat, place in microwave or toaster oven.
- For freezing: Once they are done baking and have cooled for 15-20 mins, place them on a cookie sheet and place in freezer for about 1-2 hours. Once frozen, you can throw them in a ziplock bag and return to the freezer for storage. When ready use, remove desired amount of pancake muffins and reheat in either the microwave, toaster oven or the oven until warm.

These sound easy and delicious! =)
Millie l Add A Little says
Love the sound of the bacon or the blueberry one! These look like such a great ad easy brunch idea! 🙂

Shannon says
Just made a batch!! They are Delicious!! Have you frozen any of these and re-heated them? If so, how did they turn out? Any suggestions?
Alyssa says
What kind of pancake mix did you use
Cassidy Leigh says
Had some frozen berries. Sautéd that down into a syrup and used that instead of maple. Threw in some granola. Added a touch of salt and sugar. Let’s see how these turned out!! So excited to use this recipe I could t wait until morning
Jessica says
Yum! Baking these right now 🙂 I added a strawberry one, too!
Heather says
These look great. Has anyone tried them as mini muffins? If so how long would you cook them?
Ricki says
Eight minutes worked well for me!
Stephanie says
Which pancake mix did you use? I currently have the kind you just add water…. should I buy the kind you add eggs to?
Corey says
Any mix should be just fine 🙂
Vennessa says
If you have the just add water pancake mix do you still add the milk and egg to the recipe or just the required amount of water?
Corey says
Yes, still add the egg and milk 🙂
Jessica says
So if it’s the “only add water” pancake mix, you would add water, milk and eggs? Or just milk and eggs?
Corey says
Yes I do Jessica.
Still Playing School says
These are delicious! Thank you for the idea! I love your photography, too!
Fay says
I got a little creative and put applesauce, shredded sweetened coconut and almonds together. Sounds weird, but YUM! Also mixed together sugar and raisins.
So easy to make!
Corey says
That sounds incredible Fay!
Courtney says
This sounds awesome I want to make a bunch for the week. Has anyone tried the pre-made pancake mix in the squeezable bottle?
Anya says
I like the idea cooking pancakes as muffins. Going to try it making my own batter – it’s silly to run to the shop for it when I do have flour and baking powder
Carissa says
So do I still add the eggs and everything if I am using the “complete” mix that just says to add water? I can’t wait to make these with my toddler.
Corey says
I would still add the egg Carissa.
meg says
I made these this evening with a “just add water mix” and yes, I still added eggs.
my toddler enjoyed them!
Corey says
Awesome Meg!
meg says
these were a hit! made one batch with blueberries & raspberries and another batch with cheese and morning star “sausage” crumbles. toddler approved!
Corey says
Mmmmmm, raspberries 🙂
Haley says
These sound so good. My little girl is turning three this Saturday, and we’re having a brunch party. These pancake muffins sound perfect for desert. maybe ill make a maple glaze for the top…. yumm.
JennB says
We use Bisquick for our pancakes. Do you think that would work or should I buy some “pancake” specific mix?
Christine says
I made these this morning…amazed at how easy it was to mix them up and they baked beautifully. I didn’t tell my kids they were made from pancake mix, lest they want to pour syrup over them! Thanks for a great idea that I wish I’d thought of myself… : )
Kirsten Gumeson says
Love this idea – though, after I made them all up I realize…wait a minute, was I supposed to add to water to the pancake mix. Ugh… Next time..
Janice says
Are these freezer friendly? Great idea 😀
Laura Merzi says
These sound awesome! What a great idea!
Anyone try these with Gluten Free Bisquick or gluten-free flours?
Lynn Marziale says
I have made these with gluten free pancake mix before and they turned out great!! Just follow directions on gf mix bag/box and bake like these directions…..they turned out perfect!
Michelle says
I tried them with gluten free and they were amazing!
Mary says
Do you use pancake mix that is already made or the just use the dry straight from the box
Corey says
Dry from the box.
Stephanie S. says
Has anyone tried this with bisquick Gluten Free pancake mix? Did they turn out same?? 🙂 this would be awesome for my 4yo daughter
Diane says
Has anyone used homemade pancakes? We don’t do mixes…will it work with our regular recipe, do you think?
Corey says
Diane, I use my homemade one for this all the time. Works like a charm!
Mieke says
Hi Corey,
I also make only homemade pancakes but was wondering if I still need to add the eggs like mentioned above as I already have quiet a lot of eggs in the recipe itself.
Regards
Mieke
Corey says
Sorry I should have been more specific. I would use the dry portion of your homemade mix. For mine that is the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
Priti says
Hi,
Can you please give me exact measures for the pancake mix. I used to have them but cannot find them. Thanks a ton and can’t wait to try these muffins. Btw, when you add the sausage/bacon, would it taste sweet/salty??
Great work!!
Andrea says
Hi, My kids actually don’t like maple syrup. Do you think they would work without the syrup or maybe be too dry? Thanks.
Corey says
Could you use honey instead? The maple syrup adds a sweetness and a little moisture, so I would replace it with something.
Melanie says
Try agave nectar instead of the maple syrup, still liquid and sweet.
Karyn says
I’m going to try this with tapioca flour and coconut flours for a grain free version. Should I aim for muffin or pancake batter consistency? Cheers 🙂
Corey says
I would aim for pancake consistency.
Deb says
Karyn, please let me know if you were successful with these flours (and how to convert the recipe). I am new to them and haven’t learned the art of converting recipes yet. 🙂
Abby Warnes says
Made these with Banana & Cinnamon…
Yuummoooo.. 2yr old Toddler approved as well
Linda Hodges says
Question. If you have the complete pan cake mix do you add both the water it calls for on the back and the milk that your recipe calls for or just the milk?
Corey says
Do not pay any attention to what it says on the box (even if it is complete mix)… Just follow my recipe using 2 cups of the pancake mix, 2/3 cup milk, 2 eggs and 1/2 cup maple syrup 🙂
Linda Hodges says
Thanks
MythicalBaker says
Is there something we can use instead of maple syrup?
Judith says
if we don’t want to used a processed pancake mix, but want to use our ‘from scratch’ pancakes, how would we adapt this recipe??
Corey says
I make this with my homemade mix (flour, baking powder, sugar and salt) all the time Judith. Make it the same way, using your homemade mix instead.
Qudsia says
These sound great – just curious as to what your recipe for home made mix is? I use 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, 1 egg, pinch of salt and a bit of melted butter for flavour. What proportions do you use?
isla says
Sorry to a nuisance to ask but is there a recipe that does NOT use egg or milk as child has intolerance to both ? ! ! Thanks
Patch says
You could use egg replacer (I find it at my natural foods store) to help with the consistency, and as for milk, I’ve used soy milk, almond milk, etc, in baking and while it’s a little different, it’s fine.
Cammi McLain says
I needed a quicker breakfast option in the mornings for me and my 3 year old…these are PERFECT! Raspberry, Strawberry, Banana and Chocolate Chip so each day is a little something different. I used Krusteaz GF pancake mix and Almond milk to sub, as well as maybe 2 tbsp less maple syrup (a little sweet goes a long way for us). I also used egg beaters, but next time I think whole eggs will work better. They did come out a but crumbly, but that could be the egg beater or GF substitute. Cheers!
Michelle says
How do you store them for the week?
Corey says
Store in a ziplock back in the refrigerator or freeze. I will add freezing directions to the recipe in a minute 🙂
Leslie says
Has anyone tried these with a healthier flour – buckwheat, whole wheat, etc? Just wondering if you would have to have at least part white flour for them to be tasty.
Heather says
Haven’t made these but do make pancakes all the time with only whole wheat flour. Delicious!
Alice says
Would you please share your recipe for whole wheat pancakes?
Laura says
I made these tonight with a buckwheat pancake mix…after folwong the recipe the batter was too thick to stir so I added a splash of milk but they still came out very dry. Will have to play around more.
Corey says
I have never used buckwheat pancake mix Laura. Sounds yummy! That might have been why they turned out a little dry. Maybe adding some apple sauce would help?
Katy Brewer says
This may be a silly question…but do you cook the sausage and bacon before putting them in the batter?
Corey says
Not a silly question at all! Yes you do. I will indicated that in the post to clarify 🙂
Dawn says
These sound yummy! I most likely will use a mix like Bisquick, but if I were to get adventurous, may I ask, what is your homemade recipe?
Corey says
This one from MOMables is my favorite 🙂

Ruth says
Hi, i’d like to make up my own pancake mix and do these pancake muffins but the link to the mix above doesn’t work. have you any others you can recommend? Thanks
Jade says
Would this work in a cake pan? I can’t find my muffin pan.
Corey says
That would make a HUGE pancake Jade 🙂
Jade says
We might just be having breakfast for dinner tonight. 🙂
Keelie Reason says
Wow! You just made my day. 🙂 Kind of a long story, but my van broke down the other weekend at Sam’s club. My husband was there by himself trying to take care of some things. I had asked him to stop by and get pancake mix for Saturday morning breakfast, and his only option was to buy it at Sam’s. Not sure I have to say anymore about the size of mix he brought home. I’ve been staring at that huge bag all month and wondering when we were going to ever have time to eat that many pancakes. Now I know! Thanks for posting this.
Jennifer says
I made these with Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Pancake & Waffle Mix and they turned out delicious. I cut the recipe in half and they turned out Greta, except they could have been a little more moist. I thin I might have measured wrong when cutting in half, so I am trying again with the full version. I am hoping they will be a little more moist… not sure what to add to make them more moist.
Dawn says
Ok I had the trader joe pumpkin pancake mix as well so I am so glad you tried it first! Anyway to kick it up a notch I mixed some cream cheese with a little confectionery sugar and vanilla and added it to the middle before baking. Came out delicious and kept it moist. Kids loved the muffins and so easy!!
Nicole says
Would pancake syrup work if you don’t have maple syrup?
Corey says
yep!
Maite says
I want to try orange zest with craisins!
Corey says
YUM!
Fivekidzlater says
Thanks so much for this recipe! I am totally out of sugar and was searching for a recipe to make the kids snacks for school tomorrow. Yay pancake muffins! I had blueberries and chocolate chips in the freezer so I did half of each. They are great. This will be a repeat around here, I’m sure.
christine finnerty says
Loved. So easy. I took frozen strawberry-bananas and chopped them. worked great. sweet enough for kids but I would like a little sweeter for myself. next time maybe a little more syrup.
christine finnerty says
Just a question. Now that its fall can you add canned pumpkin to recipe? If so how much do you think I should put in.
Corey says
I have a post coming soon about this! hehe But I would start with 1/4 cup and maybe some pumpkin spice (1/4 teaspoon)
Jamie Rippy (@MamaMommyMom) says
Awesome! I know what the kids and I are making this weekend 🙂
fay kivela says
What can I use as a substitute for the maple sugar? Would any liquid work such as milk, juice, etc.? I have a diabetic grandson and we watch sugar so closely. Thank you.
Loved it says
I just made 1/2 batch , they turned out great!! I would add butter or bake with out paper liners and spray the pan, because they stick to the paper liner. Super easy and delicious, the kids loved it. They cooked in about 11 mins. so depending on you oven keep an eye!!
Rebecca says
I just made these with Trader Joe Gluten free pumpkin mix and worked great! I followed directions on box for mix, but instead of melted butter I used melted coconut oil. I also used coconut oil to grease muffin pan (no paper cups). Instead of stirring in maple syrup for the whole batch I only used it in some of them as a kind of topping, also used shredded coconut and nuts in some of them too. Yum!
Allyson says
Thank you for your reply! I used your comments and have gf muffins from this mix in the oven right now. 🙂
Bobbi says
I love these. I inserted two cherries in the center of these, and they came out so delicious. My kids are asking for more.
Corey says
That is a super idea Bobbi! YUM!!
becca l says
My son’s class is having ‘halloween breakfast’ and this would be perfect! Can’t wait to try them. Can I substitute corn syrup for the maple syrup? Don’t want to have to buy maple syrup if I don’t have to. Thank you!
Corey says
Becca, I would do honey or maple syrup.
becca l says
great.. maybe will do the maple syrup to be safe. weary of ‘honey’ allergies. thanks!
Sarah says
Baking right now and smell delish! I used Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Pumpkin Pancake Mix, and mixed in the TJ’s Pumpkin Spiced Pumpkin Seeds as my mix-in (was thinking of making a simple cream cheese frosting but don’t have the cream cheese). Can’t wait for them to come out of the oven. Thanks for the great idea!
Corey says
Sounds delish!
Jenn says
I would love to try apple cinnamon but unfortunately I’m fresh out of apples and cinnamon. Can I add a package of apple cinnamon instant oatmeal?
solaira says
These have become a staple in my home. They are quick and easy to make. I use a homemade pancake mix. I’ve made them with fresh pumpkin from the farmers market. I’ve made them with every mix in you could imagine. I made a batch last night, and my 13 yr old ate 7 of them today. One day, I am going to experiment with alternative flours like almond and flax and alternative sugars like stevia so that I can enjoy them too.
Crystal says
These were the bomb! My two year old and 8 month old devoured them. It was a lot of fun to make them together in the morning
becky says
Could someone provide me with a recipe for these that includes a homemade pancake mix recipe? I’ve only ever made pancakes from scratch once before and can’t remember what to put in and the measurements. Looking for something simple. Thanks!
solaira says
This is the homemade pancake recipe I use.
2 cups all purpose flour
4 Tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
There is supposed to be 1 teaspoon baking soda. I leave it out and nobody in my house is complaining about it.
Follow rest of recipe as stated above. This will net approximately 16 muffins.
Heather says
Has anyone ever tried them with green veggies? Like spinach or broccoli? How did it go?
