How to Make Pancake Mix Brownies
For this recipe, you’ll need a box of pancake mix. I’ve made these with Birch Benders plant protein pancake and waffle mix. It adds a light sweetness and replaces the traditional mix of flour, baking soda, and sugar. This recipe also works with Kodiak Cakes Pancake Mix. I’ve used the chocolate mix to make it extra rich and chocolatey!
