Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups pancake mix (your choice of the “just add water” variety)
  • 1 ¾ cups milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup mix-ins of choice
  • 1 cup desired toppings

Directions:

  • 1

    Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking liners.

  • 2

    In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, milk and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth, but do not overmix. This will keep your puffins fluffy!

  • 3

    Fill each muffin tin with the batter.

  • 4

    Here is the fun part. Add whatever mix-ins you want. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, bananas, chocolate chips, hazelnut spread, peanut butter, espresso, nuts, raisins, dried cranberries, protein powder—the possibilities are endless. Use a butter knife to gently swirl toppings into the batter.

  • 5

    Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the puffins comes out clean.

  • 6

    Top with your preferred toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, maple syrup or whatever your mom’s favorite is!

Pro Tip: These are great for meal prep as they can be stored in the fridge for a week or the freezer for 6 months.
