How to Make Muffin Mix Pancakes on Blackstone
- Step 1 – Preheat the Blackstone Griddle to medium heat (about 350°F).
- Step 2 – In a large mixing bowl, combine the muffin mix, water, and vegetable oil. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3 – Grease the griddle surface with cooking spray or butter.
- Step 4 – Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the griddle, leaving enough space between each pancake for spreading.
- Step 5 – Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry and set.
- Step 6 – Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
- Step 7 – Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep them warm on a plate covered with foil or in a low-temperature oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Step 8 – Serve the Muffin Mix Pancakes hot, with your favorite toppings such as butter, syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Recipe Tips
- Batter Consistency – If the batter seems too thick, you can add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Griddle Temperature – Adjust the griddle temperature as needed to achieve the perfect golden-brown color without burning the pancakes.
