Pancake Muffins


Henry loves muffins and we've been trying out a new variation this week -- Pancake Muffins! This is an easy recipe shortcut for making muffins with pancake mix. We made three different flavors this week and Henry loved all of them.
Making Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancake Muffins

The recipe makes 6 muffins. We shared 4 at breakfast, and then he packed 2 in his lunchbox for the following day. They were all devoured!

PANCAKE MUFFINS
Makes 6

- 1 cup Pancake Mix
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. Pour into lined muffin tin. Bake 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Pancake Muffins: We tried the recipe with pumpkin pancake mix for a hearty fall flavor.
Chocolate Banana Coconut Pancake Muffins: We made a batch with toasted coconut pancake mix. Reduce the milk to 1/4 cup. Add one ripe mashed banana and 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancake Muffins: We used buttermilk pancake mix plus 1/4 cup peanut butter. Reduce the milk to 1/4 cup. Add a dollop of your favorite jelly on top before you put in the oven to bake.

Adding fresh blueberries would also be a delicious variation if you enjoy blueberry pancakes.

Ready for Kindergarten

It's back to school season and Henry starts kindergarten on Monday!
It should be an easy transition for him since Henry will be in the same classroom with the same teacher as his preschool year. For the past three weeks, he has been lamenting that school is better than summer break and he wants to see all his friends again. His goal for the year is to learn to read so he can devour Pokemon cards and comic books. I love that he is excited to be back at school. 

The format and frequency of this blog will be changing this year. Henry has asked that I not take daily photos of his lunches. He says that he would still like to share pictures of his favorite lunches on occasion. I also plan to write a few product reviews of lunchboxes and water bottles. 

Our family is in the process of moving to a new house this month as well, so my focus is on getting us settled into the new space. As a result, I won't be writing much on the blog in September but hope to post at least once per month sta…

Henry's Lunchbox - The Purple Lunchbox

This week, Henry packed four school lunches and purchased one cafeteria lunch.

Henry's favorite lunchbox this year has been his purple Bentgo Kids container. He chose the color himself. He especially likes all the sections in the box so that he can have lots of different foods at lunch. In January, I even purchased a set of silicone muffin cups so that he would be encouraged to use his Planetbox Shuttle as often with its single divider.
