Pancake Mix In A Jar: How To Create It

Thinking about making delicious Pancakes with Whipped Creme toppings? Our Pancake Mix in a Jar is the best base to use for both gourmet creations and classic pancake blends.

Pancakes will never go out of style. There, we said it!

Deeply rooted in the traditional American breakfast, pancake making has been our favorite go-to treat for morning eating, quick desserts, even peace offerings after an avoidable fight (kids, I tell ya).

Plus this pancake mix in a jar makes an excellent gift! We know you guys fell in love with our Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix in a Jar that is another perfect Mason Jar gift, so we know you’ll love these Pancake Mason Jar Gifts too!

So we figured, if we’re whipping up these fluffy cakes 3-4 times a week, why not create a pre-mix to have on hand? Thus pancake mix mason jars were born.

Creators being those who enjoy whipping up extravagant creations and playing with extracts and toppings.

These jars can be used to create a variety of different flavored pancakes, plus the flour can be substituted for plant-based versions with ease. We know you’ll enjoy this mix as much as we enjoyed preparing it, so leave a comment and tell us what you created with it!

All About Pancakes

Rumor has it that pancakes have been around since approximately the Stone Age. Whether this is true or not, we can see why they’ve managed to become a household standard.

Pancakes can be made simple or complex, depending upon your time constraints and on-hand ingredients.

Also, the versatility of the pancake can make them suitable for breakfast or dinner with the replacement of the sugar contents.

And what’s best is that because of the advancement of modern food technology, pancakes can be made out of practically anything!

What was once only catering to the traditional milk, butter, and wheat flour crowd, has now adapted to include variations for vegan, paleo, vegetarian and keto diets!

This means that pancakes have claimed their stake as being one of the most adaptable food items on the market today and will continue to live on for another 30,000+ years.
