Boxed Pancake Mix? Nah. 🙅🏻‍♀️

🛑Stop buying boxed pancake mix ASAP🛑

This pancake/waffle homemade batter is A M A Z I N G!

🥞Ingredients🥞

1.5 Cups of All Purpose Flour

1 Tbsp Baking Powder

3Tbsp Granulated Sugar

1 Tsp Salt (use less if you’re using salted butter)

1 Cup of Milk

1 Large Egg

4 Tbsp of Unsalted Butter Melted

2 Tsp Vanilla (I use Mexican Vanilla, seriously THE BEST)

Directions👇🏼

1. Whisk together ALL the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

2. Add in melted butter, lightly whisked egg, milk, and vanilla.

3. Mix until combined and let it sit for a few minutes (this is where I started heating the waffle maker)

4. Use medium-low heat

5. Spray with nonstick spray

6. Pour mix into waffle maker or griddle

7. Serve over butter & syrup

E N J O Y

**optional**

Chocolate Chips, Blueberries and strawberries

... Read moreI’ve found that making your own pancake or waffle batter not only tastes better but also lets you control the quality of your ingredients. Using all-purpose flour, fresh eggs, and real vanilla extract—like Mexican vanilla—really brings out a rich flavor that boxed mixes just can't match. One thing I always do is let my batter rest for a few minutes after mixing. This small wait time helps the baking powder activate, producing lighter, fluffier pancakes or waffles. Also, using melted unsalted butter instead of vegetable oil adds a wonderful buttery aroma and taste. For a real treat, I like adding fresh blueberries or chocolate chips right before cooking. It’s such a joy to bite into pockets of melted chocolate or bursts of juicy berries. A nonstick spray on your griddle or waffle maker prevents sticking and makes clean-up easier. If you want to make this breakfast even more comforting, try serving your pancakes or waffles warm with a pat of real butter and pure maple syrup on top—simple yet heavenly. Lastly, I love how versatile this recipe is. You can tweak it to your taste by adjusting sugar levels or adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a seasonal twist. Making pancake or waffle batter from scratch might take a little more effort than buying boxed mixes, but the delicious outcome and no preservatives make it completely worth it. Plus, starting your day with a warm, homemade breakfast is a joyful ritual that sets a positive tone for the day ahead.
