Expert Tips for How to Make Cake with Pancake Mix

  • Bake Ahead: Looking for a breakfast treat for on-the-go? Distribute the coffee cake batter mixture in a muffin tin and cook until the toothpick comes out clean.
  • Substitute the Flour: If you found a recipe you like but don’t have any all purpose flour, try pancake mix instead in the dry ingredients. Pancake mix incorporates flour and leavening agents into your recipe in one easy step.
  • Add Yogurt: Are your mug pancakes not coming out as fluffy as you had hoped? Use half as much yogurt as you would mix. The acidity boosts the reaction of leavening agents. Say no more to flat pancakes!
  • Check the wattage of your microwave: Microwaves vary so it’s important to know your wattage at full power and adjust cooking time as needed.

Mug Pancake Recipes

Making an entire batch of pancakes can be a time-consuming task, especially if you just want one for on the go. Mug Pancake Recipes take pancake mix and a few simple ingredients that you can cook right in your microwave.

Top with seasonal berries, syrup, butter or chocolate chips for extra flavor. It’s important to note that you should always use a microwave-safe mug. A typical coffee mug should be microwave-safe but it’s good to double check. If you use an extra large mug, you may have to add more pancake batter and adjust the cook time.
