Do you buy pancake mix or do you make pancakes from scratch every time?
Make a bit batch of this homemade pancake mix and delicious and healthy Multi Grain Buttermilk Pancakes can be done in a jiffy whenever you get in the pancake mood or the kids are screaming for pancakes!
Why should you make your own pancake mix?
- Cost – the cost of the ingredients to make pancake mix are so inexpensive, compared to the cost of ready made pancake mix
- Healthier Ingredients – by mixing different grains, you can make healthier pancake mix than most store bought brands
- Making the mix in advance instead of every time you want pancakes, is quicker and easier when ever the pancake mix strikes you!
How do I use this pancake mix?
Simply use 1 cup of pancake mix for every 8 pancakes. Add egg, milk and additional flavors as desired like vanilla extract, chopped nuts or chocolate chips. Pancake mix is ready!
With this recipe, you will get about 4 sets of pancakes. Double or triple the recipe if you have a big family who likes pancakes often!
All you need to do is store the mix in an air tight container and label it so everyone in the family knows what it is!
Making the Oat Flour
You need to use a small food processor like this food processor I use. A large one will not process it fine enough.
If you have a grinder like this Wonder Mill, you can also make the oat flour quickly and easily!
Now are you ready to make these healthy pancakes?
Make them healthier!
Use whole wheat pastry flour to replace the all purpose flour to make them even healthier!
Before we get to today’s recipe – just one question!
Are you as much of a pancake fan as I am? Not only are they great for breakfast or brunch, they make a great snack or when you want a no fuss dinner!
I have a huge selection of both sweet and savory pancakes from around the world. Here are a few to feed your pancake obsession!

Wow!!!This is such a very useful post,nothing beats the taste of home made mix..Thanks for sharing the recipe..
wow…very useful post,,home made mix always best…
very useful post and pancake looks very soft and delicious !!
What a wonderful idea to make your own pancake mix. Love it!
I made similar pancake mix and it had some oil also added into it. Having this handy is very convenient when pancake fever strikes, which happens to my son every weekend.
Ready to use homemade mixes like this is so useful..very nice one Mir..
I don't buy the mix either but never thought of mixing it up in advance. A useful recipe.
That's a great idea to have that mix on hand. I love that you've included cinnamon in the dry mix – cinnamon pancakes with maple syrup…..delicious!
So smart to have the mix ready to go. I am with you–I like my pancakes on the thinner side. 😉 Great job!
Hey I also make the pancake mix but never thought I should post 🙂 I like the addition of oats in the mix though!
I made this pancake mix before, but never really thought to enrich it as you have! Great idea to make your pancakes a bit healthier. They look delicious!
I understand that kind of laziness. I only make pancakes on wknds. And haven't bought a mix in decades. Will try this one next time I make pancakes.
It is a blessing to have these sort of mixed ready at hand! We usually don't have pancakes but your final pic is really tempting me to try some 🙂
What a great idea to make pancake mix in advance, and I love your addition of the whole grains to make them a little healthier.
Hi. I buy Kodiak Cakes buttermilk mix and love it for everything from pancakes to banana bread, even cookies! Would this mix be suitable as a multi-purpose mix too?
Thanks 🙂
that’s a really good question. I have never tried it with other recipes but that is such a good idea. IF you give me a little time, I would have to test it out first before i can say for sure.
