I’m always looking for simple, healthy breakfast ideas I can throw together on a whim. Blueberry Pancake Muffins with Pancake Mix could not be any easier and they are so yummy.

Just a few pantry ingredients and a box of your favorite store-brand pancake mix (I happen to love the krusteaz Protein Pancake Mix but any kind will do) and your favorite pancake mix-ins and that’s it!

Ingredients For Blueberry Pancake Muffins:

  • Favorite store-bought pancake mix
  • Sugar
  • Water
  • Egg
  • Butter
  • Vanilla extract
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries

Pancake Mix-Ins:

Not everyone loves cooked blueberries (ahem-my daughter) but there are plenty of other pancake mix-ins to enjoy in Pancake Muffins. It’s also an easy way to customize the muffins to your liking. If you’re feeding multiple people this is a great way to let everyone pick their own mix-ins and toppings.

  • Mini chocolate chips (1/2 cup)
  • Chopped strawberries (1 cup)
  • Crumbled cooked bacon (1/2 cup)
  • Cinnamon sugar topping (sprinkle on top before baking)
  • PBfit peanut butter powder (1 scopp, about 3 tablespoons)
  • Grated apple (1 sweet red or pink apple (not green) grated and moisture squeezed out) Combine this with the cinnamon sugar topping, so yummy


How to make blueberry pancake muffins:

  1. Add pancake mix, sugar, water, egg, butter and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until just combined.
  2. Fold in blueberries or favorite mix-ins.
  3. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full an bake until puffed and golden.

Freezing Blueberry Pancake Muffins:

Another great thing about Pancake Muffins is they freeze well. I make a big batch over the weekend and whatever we have leftover, I freeze for busy weekday mornings. Muffins can be frozen for up to 4 months. When I get a craving for pancakes and I don’t have a lot of time, I pull a couple from the freezer and heat for 1-minute and 30 seconds or so until warmed through. They are still tender and fluffy as if I made them fresh. We just love them!

Enjoy these Blueberry Pancake Muffins plain, or dress them up with butter, maple syrup, or honey. I know you’ll love this easy breakfast treat!

Equipment

  • 2 standard size muffin pans

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups store-brand pancake mix of choice I use Krusteaz Protein Pancake Mix- see link below
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup water plus more if needed
  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries see recipe notes for pancake mix-ins

Instructions
 

Preheat oven to 400°F and prepare muffin pans with liners or spray generously with non-stick cooking spray.

  • In a large mixing bowl add pancake mix, sugar, water, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or large spoon, gently stir until just combine. You may need to add a touch more water. You want it to be on the thicker side.

Notes

Tips:
Additional mix-ins- Not everyone loves cooked blueberries (ahem-my daughter) but there are plenty of other pancake mix-ins to enjoy in these muffins. It’s also an easy way to customize the muffins to your liking. If you’re feeding multiple people this is a great way to let everyone pick their own mix-ins and toppings.
  • Mini chocolate chips (1/2 cup)
  • Chopped strawberries (1 cup)
  • Crumbled cooked bacon (1/2 cup)
  • Cinnamon sugar topping (sprinkle on top before baking)
  • PBfit peanut butter powder (1 scopp, about 3 tablespoons)
  • Grated apple (1 sweet red or pink apple (not green) grated and moisture squeezed out) Combine this with the cinnamon sugar topping, so yummy
Be careful not to overmix batter- Overmixing the batter will result in a tough pancake muffin. Mix ingredients gently until just combined. You should still see a few lumps and that’s okay. 
Freezing muffins- Cool muffins completely before transferring to a freezer safe bag or container. Freeze muffins for up to 4 months. To re-heat, place in microwave for 1-minute and 30 seconds or until heated through.
