My kids just love pancakes; they would eat them every morning. Who has time to make and cook pancakes every morning before school and work? I use to buy the frozen pancakes at the grocery store so my kids could enjoy their favourite breakfast every morning, but they’re not the healthiest and my kids like the taste of my pancakes a lot more then the frozen ones.
One Saturday morning, I made homemade pancakes like I do often on the weekend, and I decided to double the recipe and try to freeze some. Worked great! Now I know exactly what’s in the frozen pancakes my kids are eating, and they enjoy them every morning, just 40 seconds in the microwave and breakfast is served!
So here’s my delicious recipe for Homemade Freezable Pancakes:
Ingredients
2 large eggs
2 cups of milk
1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
2 cups of flour
3 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of sugar
Directions
In a small bowl, mix together eggs, milk and vanilla extract.
In a juice container, mix together flour baking powder, salt and sugar.
Poor the wet ingredient over the dry ingredients in the juice container and mix well.
Heat a non stick pan to medium heat.
Spray the pan with Canola oil cooking spray
Poor about 1/4 cup of the batter into the hot pan, move the pan around to spread the batter a little.
Cook until bubbles on the pancakes start to pop.
Turn your pancake and cook the other side for a few seconds, until golden.
Top you pancakes with butter and REAL maple syrup.
You can easily double or triple this recipe.
To freeze the left over pancakes, let them cool down completely and place them in Ziploc Freezer bags.
Write the date on the bags.
Frozen pancakes are good for 3 months in the freezer.

Thanks for visiting Do It All Working Mom.
These pancakes look really fluffy. I like the idea of making some for the whole week and freezing them.
Yes, they’re delicious. It’s so practical to freeze them, breakfast is really good and really quick.
Cooling is important, otherewise frozen condensation will make them stick together.
Yes it is really important. If your in a hurry, you can place them on a baking sheet on parchment paper and put them in the freezer. When they’re cold, just place them resealable plastic bags.
My sister in law use to like to freeze pancakes. I have never done this though
It’s so practical, and they’re just as delicious when you microwave the. So convenient!
Eve though we don’t eat pancakes at home very often, recently, one of my kids asked for them and I was reminded how good they taste… I love your recipe too.
Thanks Eliz, I’ve been making homemade pancakes since the age of 10. Really love them!
I’ve never tried freezing pancakes, but I used to keep leftover pancakes in the fridge and microwave them in the morning. The problem is, they stay soft for only a short amount of time then they harden quickly. Will it be the same case if I freeze them instead?
The trick is to not overcook the pancakes in the microwave. Try heating them for 30 seconds at a time. For 2 small pancakes, 40 seconds is enough (in our microwave) and they don’t become hard at all.
