These chocolate chip pancake mix muffins are the perfect way to use pantry ingredients if you don’t have time to get to the store.

On the weekend I like to try to prep for the next week whenever I can. Whether that’s making freezer breakfasts, baked goods, or putting the slow cooker to work for shredded meats we can use in other dishes.

Baking ahead of time means that the kids have quick and easy food for breakfast, lunch boxes, or after-school snacks.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups pancake mix (I used the Aldi brand and that's how much was left in the box)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 5 tbs butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs (whisked)
  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the pancake mix, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk.
  3. Fold the chocolate chips through the mix.
  4. Spoon mixture into baking cups in a muffin pan until about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake for 15-minutes.

It’s as simple as that!

Do your kids have favorite make-ahead snacks that you bake on the weekend?

Now I’m off to make some gluten-free blueberry muffins for the little man too. I can’t make treats for us and not for him to enjoy too.

I always buy the Aldi gluten free baking mix. It’s an excellent product and priced right. I make all kinds of muffins similar to yours and various pancakes. My favorites are pumpkin with chocolate chips and banana with blueberries and chocolate chips. I sometimes add a heaping tablespoon of protein powder also. Take care.

I love the Aldi products, my son is gluten-free so I buy that one when I’m baking for him too.

This is such a great recipe to have on hand now. I always have a box of Bisquick in my pantry and flour can be hard to come by at our grocery store these days. Totally trying this recipe!

Ooooh, I haven’t yet made muffins during the last 6 weeks we’ve been all together at home. This looks great – thank you.

these were great! I had a box of protein pancake mix that tasted…horrible! Used it for this and it was perfect!! I added a dash or cinnamon and vanilla extract as well. Half the batch also added raisins. Can’t wait to make again!

I make these GF using King Arthur GF baking mix. I add a scoop of protein powder and my kids don’t know the difference! These are now the go-to school day breakfast. Thank you.

That’s a great idea to add protein powder. I’ll have to do that with my kids too.
