19 Breakfast Ideas with Pancake Mix

Try these easy breakfast ideas with pancake mix for a delicious treat the whole family will love. You can do so many things with pancake mix.

Of course, pancakes are an excellent place to start, but you can also make waffles, muffins, donuts, cake, and much more. Try these for your next Saturday morning breakfast or Sunday brunch.

Why use pancake mix? Pancake mix is convenient. It is a pre-made baking mix containing flour, shortening, salt, sugar, and baking powder. That means less individual ingredients (and less work) for you.

If you prefer things from scratch, you can make a homemade baking mix and store the mixed dry ingredients in an airtight container.
