Photo: Almost Instant Pancake Mix Recipe
Freshly made pancakes are not just for weekends--this recipe makes it easy to get a batch on the table long before the school bus arrives. The ground oats and hint of lemon make them extra special.
Ingredients
Pancake Mix:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Pancakes:
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- Butter or nonstick cooking spray, for coating the skillet
- Suggested toppings: maple syrup, butter, sliced banana, blueberries, honey
Directions
For the pancake mix: Put the oats in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times until chopped. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and lemon zest and pulse a few more times to combine. Add the oil and lemon juice and pulse to moisten the dry ingredients. Store in a resealable plastic container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For the pancakes: Whisk together the pancake mix, milk and egg in a medium bowl until combined.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the skillet with a bit of butter or cooking spray. Drop 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the skillet; you will be able to make about 3 pancakes at a time. Cook until the edges are set and the tops are bubbly, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until the bottoms are browned, another 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

I love this recipe! I have 2 small boys who are allergic to eggs so when I first made this I substituted with flaxseed meal(for eggs.....It gave the pancakes a nice nutty flavor. I know use Orgran natural egg replcer since i found out they can't have flaxseed meal because of another allergy. Either way, this is by far the best pancake recipe that I have tried. I especially love that there is oatmeal and lemon in here. Delicious!

Pretty good. Obviously quick to put together, but lacked in flavor. I followed the directions exactly. Pancakes are pretty easy to make anyway, so I think I'll stick with my tried and true one from Allrecipes. Saving one minute doesn't make a big difference to me. 1 cup of pancake mix makes 5-1/4 cup pancakes. I use an ice cream scoop.

Too many ingredients, only lasts in fridge for two weeks, and taste is nothing special. Easier, cheaper, and faster just to buy a box of Bisquick.
