Nothing brings back the nostalgic feel of a lazy Sunday morning like a golden stack of fluffy pancakes. The nutty aroma of the cakes sizzling in the pan mixed with the smell of roasted coffee beans...truly shiver-worthy. These pancakes are slightly sweet, buttery (sorry mom), and fluffy. Even better - they come together quickly. You can go from flour to pancake in 15 minutes flat, if you are truly motivated.
Some mornings are harder than others. Do yourself a favor when you're feeling well and make a batch of this pancake mix or freeze cooked pancakes for the days when the microwave is as far as your body will take you. I know it seems easier to just buy the mix from the store, and you are welcome to do that, but seriously, this is so easy to do yourself.

FAQs
The dry pancake mix should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry area. In these conditions, the mix should maintain best quality for about a year.
Yes! This is a great recipe to double or even triple. Why not make extra for later while you are already putting in the work?
Yes, freeze pancakes in a single layer on a cookie sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag or environmentally friendly alternative. Pancakes should maintain best quality in the freezer for up to 3 months. Re-heat frozen pancakes in the microwave or air fryer.
Absolutely, substitute the milk and butter for your favorite non-dairy alternatives. I have used both almond and rice milk for this recipe with good results.
Whip these pancakes up in no time, then take a minute to thank your past self for being a real pal. Yes, you guessed it, this is the appropriate time for finger-guns in the mirror.
Keep your belly full, your mind engaged, and your heart open.
