1/3 cup granulated sugar

¾ cup of desired inclusions (blueberries, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)

How to Make Funfetti Pancake Mix Muffins

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners, if desired, or spray the pan with nonstick spray.

Add the pancake mix and sugar and whisk until combined.

Option One: Stir the inclusions into the batter. Then fill each muffin cup ¾ full.
Option Two: Fill each muffin cup with 2 tablespoons of the batter, filling about 1/3 of the way full. Add 1 tablespoon of your desired inclusion onto the batter. Top the inclusions with an additional 2 tablespoons of batter, filling each cup about ½-inch from the top of the liners. Stir the batter with a toothpick.

Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Tips & Tricks

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This ensures your batter mixes evenly for light and fluffy muffins.
Don’t Overmix: Stir until just combined to avoid dense muffins.
Sprinkle Extra Funfetti on Top: For an extra pop of color, sprinkle additional funfetti or inclusions on the tops before baking.
Adjust Sweetness: If you’re using a pancake mix with added sugar, reduce the granulated sugar slightly.
Test for Doneness: Use a toothpick to check—if it comes out clean, your muffins are ready.
