Can I use the “just add water” pancake mix?
You can use any variety of store bought pancake mix. I typically choose the “just add water” mix because the muffins are a little moister.
Ingredients

Vanilla Extract: The vanilla adds flavor that makes these muffins taste like they are scratch made!
Fun Stuff: ¾ cup of desired inclusions (blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)
