These are ideal for a hands-off brunch where everyone gets a pancake hot off the pan without flipping a single cake! Prep ahead and bake cakes, then cool, portion and wrap individually. Freeze up to three months; pop frozen into a toaster oven to reheat.
Ingredients
1 pkg Pancake & Waffle Mix
2 tbsp cocoa powder or Chocolate Velvet Cheesecake Mix
1 egg
1 cup milk, your choice
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings (optional): maple syrup, berries, whipped cream, confectionner’s sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400° F.
In a large bowl, whisk mix with cocoa powder, egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Let batter rest 5 min; it will continue to thicken.
Scrape batter into lined sheet pan. Spread evenly to fill corners. Gently tap the pan on the kitchen counter a few times to help even out the batter and release air bubbles.
Bake until centre springs back when pressed with a finger and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, 12 min. Let cool in pan.
