Maybe Martha White is already your go-to for when that morning muffin craving strikes–but did you know that’s not all our mixes can do? In fact, one of our favorite tricks is to use the mix as a base for pancakes. That way, a world of fun flavors is right at your fingertips–Chocolate Chip! Cranberry Orange! Pumpkin Spice!—but you don’t have to worry about running out to buy a dozen special ingredients. To transform our muffin batter into a pancake one, all it takes is a few small adjustments to the standard recipe on the back of the bag–namely, adding a beaten egg and slightly increasing the amount of milk so the batter is a bit looser. Here’s a guide to a few of our favorite tricked-out pancake possibilities, but feel free to just use the mixes plain or experiment with your own combinations. We can’t wait to hear what you come up with!
