    The morning hours are often a frantic blur for parents with young kids. But these easy pancake muffins can save the day.

    Pancake Mix Muffins give you the same delicious flavor and same easy cooking method as pancakes, but in an even tastier, fluffier form.

    Variations

    One thing I love about this pancake mix cupcakes is the fact that you can change it up in so many different ways.

    • Bacon - Who doesn't love pancakes and bacon? Crumble up some bacon and sprinkle it on the pancake batter.
    • Strawberries - Add chopped strawberries to the batter.
    • Cinnamon sugar - Sprinkle a cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
    • Blueberries - Fold some blueberries into the mixture for that blueberry pancake taste.
    • Chocolate chips - Chocolate makes everything better!
