Whole Wheat Pancake & Waffle Mix- A Must Have in the Pantry

March 13, 2012

We go through a lot of pancake mix in our house. As much as I love making pancakes from scratch, the convenience of a good mix can be a time-challenged mom's best friend. There have been plenty of sleep deprived mornings where I've got to get everyone out the door to school and work and wearily reach for my box of Kodiak Cakes whole wheat pancake mix. Don't get me wrong, I love Kodiak Cakes. They are easy to make, made from wholesome ingredients and turn out awesome pancakes every time. But at almost $6 on box, I resolved to come up with my own simple, make-ahead mix that I could keep in the pantry.

It took me a bit of trail and error, but I'm finally over the moon -- I mean really over the moon -- with this recipe. It actually may be one of my favorite weelicious recipes because of how versatile it is: I used the mix to make waffles this morning and the kids actually said they were the best I'd ever made!

This recipe makes a bit more mix than what you would normally find in a box of the pre-made stuff, but that's a plus, especially if you have a house full of pancake lovers. Just keep the mix in a sealed container and anytime you want to make these, just add an egg, milk, a touch of oil and a scoop of mix for whole wheat pancakes or waffles that are sure to please!

    Does it need to be white whole wheat flour? Will just plain old whole wheat flour work?

    Thanks for the recipe! We always make ours with whole wheat pastry flour. Do they yield different results?

      Yes, White Whole Wheat has a slightly different flavor and texture! Whole Wheat Pastry Flour will yield a similar consistency to White Whole Wheat: lighter and less dense than Whole Wheat.

    Thanks – excited to try this! I’ve always bought the Hodgson Mill mix at the store but I bet this would taste even better.

      And if we can, can we freeze those once made?

        Oh yes! When testing this recipe I froze an entire batch and have been defrosting them in the toaster and they have been a great quick breakfast!

    Could you use regular whole wheat instead of the white whole wheat?

      You can! It will yield a more dense and nutty flavor than the White Whole Wheat.

    Couldn’t you leave the sugar out of the dry mix and add honey in with the wet ingredients? How much honey would I need to add per batch?

    This looks great! Thanks! Can we freeze the already made pancakes/waffles and pop in the toaster for busy mornings?

      Yes! Place on a cookie sheet in the freezer for an hour or so, until they are frozen, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer up to 3 months. When ready to eat, transfer to a toaster directly from the freezer and toast to desired doneness! I do this often and it makes a great quick breakfast for busy mornings!

    Awesome! Thanks for this. I always knew it had to be easy, but never thought of making the mix myself in advance.
