Freezing Pancakes

Going back to school is always a hard time for me. We get up at 4:50 for my kiddo's swim practice.

Since I don't feel like cooking breakfast at 4:50, I like having foods that we can heat in the microwave.

Frozen pancakes are a fantastic easy meal that my son loves. He loves to eat them with some sausage and a glass of milk.

You can also try these scrambled pancakes. They are so easy to make!

Why We Love This Recipe

• It saves money when I make my own frozen pancakes.
• Freezing pancakes is so easy to do whether you make up a special batch just to freeze or freeze some leftovers from breakfast.
• It takes under a minute to reheat!

You can make your pancakes using your favorite recipe. I use the recipe below for my pancake mix. I like to make up mini pancakes so they are easy to dip in syrup.

Mini pancakes are a favorite of my kiddo and they are less messy to eat if you have little ones. They are easy to make using a squeeze bottle. You can grab one here for cheap on amazon.

When the pancakes are done, lay them on a tray and place them in the freezer. By freezing them first you keep them from sticking together.

Once they are completely frozen you can place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. I recommend labeling the bag with the date and item.

Whenever you need a quick breakfast just pull out a few and microwave them. I usually do around 8-10 minis for about 30 seconds. They are good for about 6 months after freezing.

I have found that I can save money by making my own pancakes, plus they aren't filled with all the weird ingredients that some frozen pancakes have in them. I love having a quick warm breakfast to feed my son. You can use any pancake recipe, but here is my very favorite recipe. They are so moist!

Freezing Pancakes

1 cup, sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
¼ cup white sugar

2 tsp. cooking spray or vegetable oil

Add all the dry ingredients such as flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to a mixing bowl. Then add in the egg, melted butter, and milk. Mix well. Heat a pan, a skillet or griddle and spray with margarine or vegetable oil.
Pour or squirt the mixture onto the griddle. Cook for 1 minute and flip it upside down and cook other side too until both sides are golden-brown.
