Chocolate Chip Muffin Pancakes Recipe
My boys would agree that we eat many more pancakes nowadays since I started using muffin mix. And I can say that the process is so much easier.
The great thing about using a muffin mix to make pancakes is that you can easily change the flavor and taste. Since there are so many muffin mix flavors, you can make a new flavor every time!
Don’t forget to look at the back of the muffin mix package so that you have all the needed ingredients on hand. Most need eggs, water, and/or milk, which everyone typically has on hand – but it’s always good to check!
Can I make pancakes and freeze them for later?
If you want to save time and enjoy a delicious breakfast later, making and freezing pancakes is an excellent idea!
Pancakes freeze and reheat relatively well, as long as you follow a couple of guidelines that ensure your pancakes retain their flavor goodness.
The key is to let them cool completely before freezing, separate the pancakes with wax or parchment paper, so they don’t stick together, and store them in an airtight container.
When reheating, you can place simple thawed pancakes directly onto a hot skillet or griddle with butter or light oil on medium-low heat for about four minutes until heated.
In that way, you can enjoy your freshly made pancakes any time of the day!

What are fun pancake topping ideas?
Pancakes are a classic breakfast staple that all can enjoy. Many fun and delicious options exist to switch up your traditional pancake topping of butter and maple syrup.
You could add fresh or frozen fruits such as bananas, strawberries, and blueberries or an exotic fruit like mango for extra sweetness.
If you feel extra indulgent, try topping your pancakes with chocolate chips or diced Oreo cookies.
Nuts such as almonds, peanuts, or walnuts add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor, while nut butter, like almond butter or peanut butter, brings a creaminess to the pancakes.
Finally, for those longing for an even sweeter pancake experience, marshmallow fluff, caramel sauce, or sugary cereal are great options too!
All these toppings will ensure your pancakes are always delicious, flavorful, and fun.
