Muffin Mix Pancakes with Chocolate Chips
These Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Pancakes use a shortcut that makes this recipe a whole lot easier and all you need is a few ingredients.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6.5 ounces Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix Package
- ½ cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- Butter or Baking Spray, as needed
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the muffin mix, milk, and egg until well-combined.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
- Place a skillet over medium-heat and once hot, add a bit of butter or baking spray.
- Once the butter is melted and hot, add ¼ cup of the pancake batter.
- Allow the pancake to cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles appear all over the top. Flip and cook until golden brown on the bottom, approximately 2 minutes.
- Remove the pancake to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
Christina's Notes
Follow these tips and your pancakes will turn out perfectly every single time:
- Use a 6.5-ounce chocolate chip muffin mix package — package size matters for the right batter consistency.
- Whisk the muffin mix, milk, and egg together just until combined. Over-mixing leads to tough pancakes.
- Always let the batter rest for five full minutes before you pour your first pancake.
- Make sure your skillet is fully heated over medium heat before adding butter or baking spray.
- Use exactly ¼ cup of batter per pancake for even sizing and consistent cook times.
- Wait until bubbles appear across the entire top surface before flipping — usually about two minutes.
- Cook the second side until golden brown on the bottom, approximately two minutes.
- Keep finished pancakes in a 200°F oven on a baking sheet so they stay warm while you finish the batch.
- For a larger group, use an electric griddle to cook multiple pancakes at once.
- Try different muffin mix flavors — banana, blueberry, or pumpkin all work beautifully with this same method.
