How To Make Pancakes with CAKE MIX!
Are you looking for fun breakfast ideas for kids? These sweet and flavorful pancakes are easy to make with just 3 ingredients! Choose your favorite box of cake mix and simply mix with milk and eggs to make delicious, fluffy pancakes for birthdays, special occasions, slumber parties, holidays, and family gatherings.
Servings: 15 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 (13.5oz) box cake mix (any flavor)
- 1+ cups milk
- 2 eggs
- frosting, butter, syrup, or whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle or large pan to medium-low heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, eggs, and milk. Start with ONE CUP of milk and add more as needed. All of the boxed cake mixes are slightly different, but I've discovered that about 1¼ cups of milk creates the perfect pancake batter consistency for most.
- Grease your griddle with butter or oil and then place about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side.
- Serve with butter, frosting, whipped cream, or maple syrup!
Notes
- If you're making these cake mix pancakes for a special birthday, consider a few sprinkles and candles for decorating.
- Because these pancakes have more sugar than regular pancake batter, they tend to burn a little easier which is why you want to cook them on a lower setting. Also, the smaller your pancakes, the quicker they'll cook all the way through.
- Cake mix comes in a variety of unique flavors that can suite just about any occasion! Try Carrot Cake for Easter, Lemon Cake for a hot summer morning, Funfetti to celebrate a birthday, Red Velvet for Valentine’s Day, Spice Cake for a cold fall day, or chocolate for an indulgent brunch on the weekend.
- Want to make your pancakes extra special? Top with sprinkles, berries, nuts, sliced bananas, poppy seeds, raisins, chocolate chips, or anything else that pairs well with the flavor of cake mix you’ve chosen.
