FRUGAL KITCHEN TIP: Store bought pancakes are expensive and take the time to read the ingredients on the box. What is half of that stuff???
Pancakes are a favorite of the kids. One likes Chocolate Chip and the other likes Sprinkle Pancakes (using the rainbow jimmies).
When I make them I always make a few extra to keep in the freezer so they can pull them out on school mornings and microwave them for a quick breakfast.
Today we made 4 packages of both kinds for the freezer as well as a few for breakfast this morning.
You can find our basic pancake recipe on my blog here:

This is a great recipe you can add berries, wheat germ, flax seed, chocolate, butterscotch, or white chips, pecans etc. to as it works with anything!
Clever to make the frozen batches – so nice to have a hot breakfast, even when pressed for time!
I always used to make enough to freeze when the kids were home, too. But we used a toaster oven to reheat them instead of the microwave, so they weren’t soggy. An ordinary toaster is fine for plain or nutty pancakes, but could be dangerous with additions like chocolate or blueberries. 🙂
Being a stay at home mom, I make mine from scratch every time… though I should freeze because my little ones are impatient! Thanks for sharing on the (mis)Adventures Mondays Blog Hop. I can’t wait to see what you share next next time!
