Pancakes from Cake Mix
Make fluffy Pancakes from Cake Mix with this easy recipe! No flour or baking soda needed, just sweet, cake-flavored pancakes perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch!
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box cake mix, any flavor (see note below)
- 1 cup milk, any kind (I used 2%)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add pancake mix, milk, eggs and vanilla and stir to combine. Be careful not to overmix, as a few lumps are fine (we want the pancakes to be soft and fluffy, not dense).
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or add oil. Pour a little less than ¼ cup of pancake mixture onto hot griddle. The batter will spread as it cooks and that is ok! Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until edges begin to bubble and the bottom turns golden brown. Gently flip over to other side and let cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked. Serve immediately with butter and syrup, if desired.

Notes
- I have tested this recipe with a 15.25 ounce box of cake mix. Please keep in mind that some brands have a 13.25 ounce box, which may affect the amount of milk you need for this recipe.
- Leftover pancakes will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- To freeze pancakes, store in a freezer-safe container or bag in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to eat, let thaw completely in the refrigerator.
