Have pancake mix in the pantry? You can use it for a lot more than a basic stack of pancakes. These recipes using pancake mix turn it into banana bread, waffles, air fryer pancakes, and fun pancake flavors for breakfast without starting from scratch.
What Else Can You Do with Pancake Mix
I almost always keep pancake mix in the pantry because it gives me a head start on breakfast when I don’t feel like making pancakes from scratch. From waffles to banana bread, you can make a lot with it! Here are some of my favorite recipes.
Banana Bread

How to Enhance Pancake Mix
Pancake mix also makes it easy to change up a basic stack without changing the entire recipe. Start with your favorite mix, then add fruit, extra protein, or something fun; these pancake add-ins are another good place to get ideas.
